Hard carbon for sodium-ion storage — made in Canada
Carbinium is building a Canadian supply platform for ESS-grade hard carbon supporting the real-world deployment of sodium-ion stationary storage. We are designed for counterparties who value secure access, repeatability, and long-dated supply — with disciplined execution, not open-ended exploration.
Phase I production is intentionally limited and structured around an anchor-aligned pathway. We allocate capacity to defined programs under NDA and convert qualification into a clear commercial supply track.
Qualification allocation (NDA): limited batches beginning Q4 2026 for defined programs.
Government & agencies: policy-aligned execution visibility (not bespoke requests).
Sodium-ion is here. Stationary is scaling now.
Sodium-ion storage is being adopted because it matches real-world needs: resilience, safety, cost-aligned scale, and supply-chain practicality. Carbinium’s role is straightforward: deliver repeatable, export-aligned hard carbon supply into programs executing today.
- Today: stationary storage programs scaling sodium-ion deployment
- Tomorrow: broader mobility / EV applications as the ecosystem matures
- Our focus: be immediately useful to the “today-world” buildout
We engage with counterparties who share this view — and who want to be a meaningful part of building secure, Western-aligned supply.
One core product, built to scale under aligned access
Carbinium’s production pathway is anchored by a single core product intended for stationary sodium-ion qualification and ramp. Supporting carbon streams strengthen plant economics and supply resilience — without diluting the mission.
Fit question: If the HC-1 backbone fits your window, we align quickly on finishing variant and a defined qualification → offtake pathway.
Disciplined sequencing — commercial alignment first
Carbinium is built around a staged execution plan. We do not run open-ended programs. We run defined programs with defined conversion paths.
Phase I (2026): anchor alignment + allocation
- ~1,500 tpa ESS-grade hard carbon capacity (allocation-based)
- Qualification allocation begins Q4 2026 (limited batches)
- Engagement under NDA: defined program + defined commercial pathway
Phase II (2027+): scale under long-dated structures
- Expansion pathway toward ~6,000+ tpa total carbon output
- Long-term supply programs aligned with secured access structures
- Execution focus once an anchor pathway is secured
Once an anchor pathway is secured, Phase I allocation will be largely committed and Carbinium’s focus will shift fully to delivery.
Who we want on board
We engage selectively with organizations that see sodium-ion stationary storage as a “now” market — and want secure, repeatable supply. Our objective is alignment, not volume chasing.
If your organization evaluates long-dated access (not spot procurement), we move quickly to a clear yes/no fit.
Policy-aligned execution (ITC-ready by design)
Carbinium is structured to meet the intent of purpose-built federal and Nova Scotia clean manufacturing / clean technology investment frameworks. We are not asking for bespoke instruments. We are executing an industrial build aligned with public priorities:
- resilient energy-storage supply chains
- export-aligned production and procurement-ready reporting
- commercial discipline and staged scale
- biogenic feedstocks and integrated renewable-energy pathways
Public-sector engagement is welcomed where it supports execution visibility, supply-chain readiness, and credible demand-side alignment (e.g., offtake frameworks / price-floor counterparts) — not open-ended exploration.
- Anchor partner pathway (stationary sodium-ion hard carbon)
- Qualification allocation under NDA (Q4 2026 onward)
- Industrial carbon offtake (IC-95 / IC-85)
- Strategic investment / JV structures (post-anchoring visibility)
