The Challenge
95% of natural graphite imports from China create critical supply chain vulnerabilities for EV batteries and defense systems. Traditional mining damages ecosystems while petroleum-based alternatives remain costly.
U.S. graphite demand reaching 1.3M tons annually by 2030 in a $27B+ market. Immediate customers include EV OEMs, battery manufacturers, and DoD suppliers seeking secure supply chains.
Delaware C-Corp incorporated spinout from MIT and Harvard graduates. Proof-of-concept protocol developed with streamlined pilot cost projection and >40% carbon conversion yields achieved.
Our Key Leaders:
Dr. Christalyn Rhodes, Founder - Former Eli Lilly AVP, Harvard PhD, MIT Sloan Fellow
Michael Autery, Co-Founder - U.S. Navy Officer (veteran), P.E. Licensed Engineer, Operations Specialist, MIT Sloan Fellow
CONFIDENTIAL - Target COGS $1,200-$1,500/ton vs petroleum coke at $2,000+/ton.
