Transforming plastic waste into engineered enriched graphene for next-generation energy storage

Advanced energy storage materials enabled by the conversion of hard-to-recycle plastic waste.

Graphene nanotube lattice — enriched graphene and advanced carbon structures

What is enriched graphene

Enriched graphene embeds extra atoms into the carbon lattice, delivering:

  • Higher electrical conductivity
  • Greater charge density
  • Improved thermal stability
  • Longer battery cycle life

Applications

  • Electric vehicle batteries
  • Supercapacitors
  • Grid-scale energy storage
  • Consumer electronics
  • Defense and aerospace power systems

Market context

  • Global battery markets exceed $100B by 2030.1
  • Supercapacitor markets forecast roughly $2.8B–$9.5B by 2030.2
  • Fast-charging battery architectures are scaling rapidly.3

P2G advantage

  • Engineered graphene derived from waste plastic feedstocks
  • Reduces reliance on petroleum-based precursor supply chains
  • Supports domestic production pathways for critical battery materials
  • Converts low-cost waste feedstocks into high-value carbon materials

Current status

  • Continuous graphene synthesis demonstrated under pilot conditions
  • Early customer sampling and evaluation programs underway
  • Pilot-scale production targeted for 2026

A scalable carbon-materials platform is intended to support future ammonia expansion.
