Empowering the Future of Battery Tech: Mackinnon Bruce International's Strategic Partnership with CarbonScape

In 2023, we announced a strategic partnership with CarbonScape, a pioneering materials innovator in the lithium-ion battery market. CarbonScape developed a patented technology that transformed forestry by-products, such as wood chips, into biographite—a sustainable alternative to traditional graphite used in battery production. 

Biographite emerged as a cleaner, more competitive, and secure raw material, addressing the surging global demand for lithium-ion batteries amid worldwide decarbonization efforts. Its production could be scaled rapidly and localised wherever suitable feedstock was available.

In 2023, CarbonScape secured $18 million in new investment to scale its operations and advance plans for production facilities in Europe and the United States

Our Partnership

As CarbonScape expanded to meet the growing demand for sustainable graphite solutions, Mackinnon Bruce International collaborated with them to secure top-tier talent essential for disrupting the battery sector. This partnership aimed to drive positive global change by sourcing and retaining high-calibre professionals passionate about sustainability and environmental impact

Joseph Stringwell, Director of Sustainable Futures at Mackinnon Bruce International, stated.

“Mackinnon Bruce International was excited to announce the partnership with CarbonScape on their mission to reduce carbon emissions from lithium-ion battery production. The CarbonScape leadership team was at the forefront of innovation within the industry, and we looked forward to supporting them in finding like-minded individuals to join their journey towards next-generation, climate-positive batteries.
