ABOUT BERGEN CARBON SOLUTIONS

Zero emission product enabling a low carbon footprint

We've developed an energy efficient, carbon negative method to produce CNF out of CO2, using renewable energy, with O2 as the only bi-product

Our product ECO-C is also known as green carbon nanofiber

Converting CO2 into CNF will positively contribute to UN's Sustainable Development Goals.

Our environmental efforts will help our customers:

  • Reduce their carbon footprint
  • Market their products as carbon positive
  • Apply for grants designed for environmental purposes

CARBON NANOFIBER AND CARBON NANOTUBES

One material, two products

Our technology can produce both carbon nanofiber (CNF) and carbon nanotubes (CNT) OUR PRODUCT SEGMENTS CNT are smaller in diameter, tubular in form and more difficult to produce than CNF, and thus have a higher product price Short-term GTM focus is on CNF, before expanding into CNT Most of the production volume in the pilot module has been CNF

HOW THEY COMPARE1

CARBON NANOFIBER

Carbon nanofiber (CNF)

Lighter than plastic, stronger than steel, with exceptional thermal and electrical conductivity, properties that can be transferred when combined with other materials

Estimated CAGR of 27% towards 2024, covering a wide range of industrial and technological applications

Market price between NOK 5 000 per kg and NOK 27 000 per kg depending on quality

Our products cover the whole range of qualities, meeting different customer needs

Source: PwC analysis, October 2020

CARBON NANOTUBES

Carbon nanotubes (CNT)

Lighter than plastic, stronger than steel, and conducts electricity even more efficiently than CNF

Global CNT market almost 7x CNF market with an estimated CAGR of 24% towards 2024

Wide range of applications, ranging from batteries to semiconductors, automobile parts, aircraft fuselages etc.

Market price between NOK 18 000 per kg and NOK 210 000 per kg
