Delft Carbonx Today it has been announced that it has earned $ 2.5 million of the Accelerator grant from the European Innovation Council (EC) to invent active anode material supply across Europe.
Competition against the proposal of 1,211, CarbonX was chosen among 71 top companies, referring to the carbon X, the most competitive fund so far.
“I am very proud of this success, successfully completing the diligence through a difficult application process – it shows the great validity of our technology and a complete product offer at the right price. In support of the EIC we will accelerate the perception of a completely independent European supply chain for critical battery materials,” Van RaltenCarbonx CEO.
Carbonx, founded in 2014 by Daniela Cold and Rooter Van Ralten, disrupts the battery industry with a new anode material: Locally produced with Chinese graphite prices while providing better battery performance with reduced carbon footprint.
Strategically Headquarters near the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, providing widespread support for the legalization of CarbonEx battery cells and laid the foundation of local supply chains in Europe and the United States
The company adds to graphite deficit using carbon black plants worldwide. Their skilled production process reduces energy consumption and emissions, promotes local production and reduces dependence on conventional graphite sources.
The main part of their innovation has their unique 3D network structure that enhances both electron and lithium transfer. Network filaments create a efficient conductive path, while micro-chims and large de-spaceing lithium improves accessibility. In addition, 3D perforated scope structure enables nano-size silicone embedding, contributes to higher energy density and advanced battery performance.
This 3D structure can overcome 2D limitations of graphite in batteries, enhances the effectiveness of the battery – useful in applications like electric vehicles (EV).
This award includes a € 2.5 million grant and a 5 million equity package to accelerate the development of the product and accelerate the expansion of the market, which leads to the role of graphite in Europe in the automotive battery Green Technology sector.
EIC Accelerator offers up to $ 2.5 million startups and SME grants with EC ACC Funds invested with EC Fund € 15 million (up to $ 2025 as $ 1025). A significant innovation this year is the Step scale-up scheme, which offers to invest up to $ 30 million.
In addition to financial support, all the projects benefit from business acceleration services, which provide access to the top skills, corporate partners, investors and ecosystem actors.
Jazz Ventures recognize with EIC applications as well as assistance from CarbonEx customers.
