300 t/y AdvEn Super Activated Carbon Commercial Demonstration Plant$1.4Mvalue2025start2026end

AdvEn has developed a proprietary recipe and production process for high-performance activated carbon trademarked “ASAC” (AdvEn Super Activated Carbon). It has record-breaking performance characteristics coupled with competitive cost efficiency, compared to current leading commercial products. It has many applications, the immediate of which is to build energy storage device such as supercapacitors (SCs).  In 2011, Elon Musk predicted that “SCs, not batteries, would be the breakthrough for EVs (Electric Vehicles)”. Our pilot plant has been operational for 4 years, producing ASAC at an equivale

Pilot Production of Self-Supported Dry Electrode Film for Supercapacitors and Lithium-ion Batteries$499Kvalue2022start2025end

This project aims to achieve pilot production of the electrodes for both supercapacitors (SCs) and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) using a patent-granted technology developed by AdvEn. The technology is termed Electrode Superior Adhesive Coating (ESAC), which can fabricate electrode at much-reduced capital and production cost and eliminates toxic solvents commonly used in the conventional technologies. This proposal will enable AdvEn to fabricate self-supported, high-strength electrode films reaching a production speed of at least 10-15 m/min. The pilot process is instrumental in finalizing the
