Elemental Advanced Materials secures a $20 million funding round led by Taranis to scale production of low-emission carbon nanomaterials and hydrogen from hydrocarbon-rich waste.

Information on the Target

Elemental Advanced Materials, based in Houston, Texas, is an innovative company specializing in the production of low-emission carbon nanomaterials and hydrogen. Recently, the company announced the successful closure of a $20 million funding round, spearheaded by Taranis, a prominent firm in climate technology investment. The funds will be utilized to enhance Elemental's patented single-step manufacturing process that effectively converts hydrocarbon-rich waste, including plastics, tank bottoms, and gas by-products, into high-performance carbon nanomaterials and clean hydrogen.

The proprietary CO₂e-neutral process championed by Elemental not only facilitates the production of advanced materials but also allows for the recovery of critical minerals from end-of-life electronics, thus advancing the principles of circular supply chains. Ian Bishop, President and Co-Founder, expressed that this funding will significantly enhance production capacity and enable the delivery of industry-demanded performance materials while expanding efforts in the recovery of key minerals from e-waste.
