The carbon footprint terminology represents the quantity of carbon that is emitted into the environment. Reducing the carbon footprint through novel and innovative graphene battery technology is a revolutionary step that allows for maintaining a clean environment and living within the means available on the planet. Since the discovery of graphene, its demand has grown at an extensively high rate due to its remarkable properties. The carbon atoms arranged in a single graphene layer make it approximately a hundred times stronger than steel. In addition to this, graphene is the best heat conductor in the world, ultimately making graphene battery technology extremely efficient. Transformation of the carbon found in biomaterial to graphene prevents the carbon from entering back into the atmosphere as the biomaterial undergoes decomposition. A number of carbon-based assets in the form of gas, oil and coal have been extracted, but only in the case of graphene, the production is fixed, wherein there is no re-entrance into the carbon cycle. This is the initial step in cutting down carbon emissions into the environment with graphene battery technology.
Righteous execution of battery manufacturing processes to reduce carbon emissions
The idea of converting bio-driven material into graphene is not new, but the righteous execution of processes that help achieve the conversion, in reality, is new. Utilising and scaling up procedures like the flash graphene methodology as part of the graphene battery technology can revolutionise the graphene material with extraordinary properties from being restricted to niche applications. In terms of the climate, these reduced carbon emissions play an important role in improving the overall quality of the environment. The graphene battery technology shows an increment of fifty per cent in terms of longevity compared to traditional batteries like lithium-ion batteries.
Reduced carbon footprint through graphene battery technology
In addition, graphene batteries reduce the carbon footprint by approximately twenty-five per cent and are extremely lightweight. Over time, there have been two main problems that have been known to be associated with conventional batteries. The first one being the poor conductance of electricity and the tendency to deform physically on discharging that ultimately leads to the customers repetitively buying the batteries, which eventually leads to more production with a greater amount of carbon being emitted into the environment hindering its quality. Graphene batteries, on the other hand, made with graphene and other nanomaterials like graphene oxides, provide effective solutions to such problems posed by conventional battery technology, as they are highly conductive to electricity flow and also lasts longer.
Conclusion
C6 Energy’s graphene batteries aim to reduce the carbon footprint by a value of 90 per cent by the year 2030 and create a positive yet powerful impact by manufacturing battery technology that is in support of a cleaner and greener environment.
