UP Catalyst is an Estonia-based materials technology company focused on producing carbon nanomaterials and battery-grade graphite through electrochemical conversion of CO2 in molten salt. Its process, often referred to as molten salt carbon capture and electrochemical transformation, aims to lower the carbon footprint of carbon materials by turning captured CO2 into useful solid carbon.
The company’s portfolio includes carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, and synthetic graphite for applications in lithium-ion and sodium-ion battery anodes, conductive additives, polymers and composites, and specialty chemical uses. By integrating carbon capture with materials synthesis, UP Catalyst targets more resource-efficient and regionally secure supplies of critical carbon materials for the energy storage and advanced materials sectors.
