BCS in brief

The green supermaterial of the future

Making CO2 a valuable resource

Pure play CCU material company enabling clean carbon for green manufacturing

We make clean carbon from harmful, excessive greenhouse gasses

CCU 1 is an alternative to carbon capture and storage, securing control of raw material delivery

Fully funded strategy with NOK 277 million cash balance

OUR JOURNEY

The team

Technology & market

The cleanest way to source carbon

  • Conductive, strong, lightweight and durable
  • Carbon is everywhere
  • CO2 as a green house gas plays key role in the energy transition and decarbonization

How it's typically made Fossil carbon

How we make it Clean carbon

We turn CO2 into carbon through electrolysis

Groundbreaking filtration significantly reduces unit cost

A clean, green opportunity ahead

The customer ecosystem

Our technology adds value both upstream and downstream

With our technology, we can both capture CO2 directly from flue gas or run on captured CO2 (CCU)

From CO2 we make high quality carbon products, tailormade for the customer, ranging from small nano-particles to graphitic macrostructured carbons

Many applications, one current focus

Our carbon products are suitable as raw material for several industries, but our current focus is on making Carbon materials for the battery industry

Batteries have a huge potential

Total battery anode materials (BAM) demand expected to increase 300% by 2025, reaching 2.9 million tonnes 1

By converting from fossil to green carbon production, CO2 emissions would be reduced from 14.5 to negative 5.8 million tonnes CO2

Batteries need clean materials

Anode graphite

Anode: Carbon-based host material. Accepts Liions during charging and release them to cathode during discharge.

Source: McKinsey & Company

Cathode (MWCNT)

Cathode: Li-metal oxide compound. Releases Liions and electrons during charging and accepts them during discharging.

MWCNT acts as a conductive agent, properly mixed, makes a conductive network that increases the conductivity between the particles:

Two product group with completely different effects in a battery

Required specifications

MWCNT USE IN BATTERIES
Typically used to increase
conductivity of the electrode
SPECIFIC SURFACE AREA
> 200 m2/g
Anode
graphite
USE IN BATTERIES
Used to store the anode host
materials, to store Li-ions
SPECIFIC SURFACE AREA
~ 1 m2/g

Different structured carbons hugely affect end results, making early characterization and initial material testing key

Three key characteristics important to our customers

Performance 1

Ability to deliver products within the required specifications

Stable manufacturing capacity 2

That the supplier can offer stable manufacturing capacity

Trustworthy supplier 3

That the cell producer can trust the supplier to honor commitment over time (typically min. 5-year contracts)

The way forward

Operational priorities

First movers expected to be established players in the battery value chain

Our typical customers have high willingness to pay for locally produced raw materials and our product's CO2 negative nature

MWCNT players

For MWCNT players, we offer the possibility to deliver a truly carbon negative additive at a competitive price

Anode-graphite players

Our technology is typically well suited for anode-graphite players that want to secure locally produced raw materials or reduce emissions by blending in our carbon negative products

Product development

  • MWCNT players ✓ Multiple initial tests conducted
  • ✓ Building understanding of MWCNT market dynamics of different players and specifications
  • ✓ Currently focus on reducing average diameter on MWCNT and cost reduction

Anode-graphite players

  • ✓ Strong geopolitical interest to secure sustainable anode-graphite production
  • ✓ Our anode-graphite is suitable both as substitute for PET Coke and as blend in PET Coke to reduce the CO2 emissions
  • ✓ High degree of graphitization on our material already achieved
  • ✓ Current focus: Further Improve product quality

A flexible triple threat go-to-market strategy

Producer & supplier

Produce and supply the green supermaterial of the future

Technology provider

Service provider delivering technology to existing industry

Collaboration

Joint venture with existing industry partners

Fully funded to deliver on key priorities

Maintaining capital discipline

Continued strong capital discipline to preserve runway towards and beyond commercial scaleup, and flexible triple threat go-to-market strategy

Establishing partnerships

Enter long-term commercial industrial partnerships, both up and downstream, with focus on battery vertical
