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.

Phase I: ~1,500 tpa ESS-grade hard carbon (allocation-based)
Qualification allocation begins: Q4 2026 (defined programs)
Scale pathway: ~6,000+ tpa total carbon output
Commercial-first engagement • NDA for qualification
Engagement pathways
Anchor partner alignment: defined qualification → defined commercial pathway (volume windows).
Qualification allocation (NDA): limited batches beginning Q4 2026 for defined programs.
Government & agencies: policy-aligned execution visibility (not bespoke requests).

Mission

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.

Product

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.

HC-1
ESS-grade hard carbon (primary)
Designed for stationary sodium-ion storage qualification and commercial ramp. Spec envelope, repeatability, and QA/QC are shared under NDA.
Under NDA, we provide a concise technical envelope (capacity / ICE / tap density / PSD / ash) and the test conditions used.
Note: “ESS-grade” is our positioning for stationary qualification programs. Final, customer-specific acceptance criteria are program-defined under NDA.
HC-1A / HC-1B
Finishing-defined variants
Aligned to partner programs requiring different PSD / finishing intensity. Variant selection follows a clear fit decision under NDA.
IC-95 / IC-85
Industrial carbon (supporting)
Biogenic industrial carbon streams designed for placement where consistency and traceability matter, supporting resilient plant economics.

Fit question: If the HC-1 backbone fits your window, we align quickly on finishing variant and a defined qualification → offtake pathway.

Execution

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.

Partners

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.

Anchor pathway
Stationary SIB programs
Defined qualification → defined commercial conversion. Volume windows tied to milestones.
ESS integrators
Deployment-focused partners
Organizations deploying sodium-ion stationary systems who value long-dated access and supply integrity.
Industrial offtake
Biogenic carbon placement
Industrial buyers valuing traceable North American sourcing, consistency, and disciplined supply.

If your organization evaluates long-dated access (not spot procurement), we move quickly to a clear yes/no fit.

Government

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.

Engage
Carbinium engages selectively with counterparties evaluating:
  • 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)
Not a fit: speculative sample requests, open-ended technical exploration, or programs without a defined commercial pathway.
