Every lithium-ion battery contains more graphite than any other mineral. It's the single largest component by weight and almost none of it is produced in North America. The industry that's supposed to decarbonize transportation is built on a material that generates 12-17 tonnes of CO2 per tonne produced. That contradiction is the reason Atlantic BioGraphite exists. New Brunswick sits on one of Eastern North America's largest forestry economies. Every year, sawmills generate hundreds of thousands of tonnes of residues, including sawdust, bark, and chips, that are either sold at thin margins or landfilled. We see a different endpoint for that material, battery-grade graphite.
01
Graphite is the largest mineral component in a lithium-ion battery, larger by weight than lithium, cobalt, or nickel. Global demand is projected to outpace supply by 777,000 tonnes per year by 2030. There is no path to North American battery independence without solving the graphite problem.
02
Every year, New Brunswick’s forest industry generates over one million bone-dry tonnes of wood residues including sawdust. These residues, sawdust, bark, and wood chips, are the same input that bio-graphite conversion requires. The supply exists. It's undervalued. And it regenerates.
03
We don't start from scratch. Bio-graphite has been commercially validated, demonstrated at battery-grade purity, backed by major battery and forestry investors, with a demonstration plant under construction in Europe. Atlantic BioGraphite applies proven conversion pathways to Atlantic Canadian feedstock, starting with a 12-month feasibility study alongside university research partners.
04
This isn't a mining play with a 20-year deposit and a decommissioning plan. It's a manufacturing operation built on a renewable resource base, embedded in existing forestry supply chains, and designed to scale modularly as demand grows. The feedstock regenerates. The facility expands in steps.
Mission & Vision
Atlantic BioGraphite is designed as a long-horizon manufacturing platform rooted in renewable feedstock, industrial discipline, and a stronger North American battery supply chain.
Mission
Transform sustainably sourced forestry residues into battery-grade graphite — enabling the transition to electric mobility through lower-carbon, traceable, and regionally produced critical minerals.
Vision
Establish Atlantic Canada as North America's leading producer of carbon-negative battery materials, proving that critical minerals production can be environmentally regenerative, economically sustainable, and socially beneficial.
