Graphene From Roofing Tar?

Last week, the National Energy Technology Lab (NETL), a laboratory operated by the US Department of Energy, reported that it had successfully crafted high-quality graphene from coal-tar pitch. 

Coal-tar pitch.

That’s the same stuff you’d most likely use to resurface your roof if you happen to live in an older building in most any American downtown.

It’s cheap, it’s abundant, and it’s primitive as hell, requiring heating and igniting before it can be applied. 

Now, it’s being used to create the most advanced human-made material in history, a nano-structure with strength and conductive properties that take it outside the realm of anything human engineers have been working with for the duration of modern history. 

“Graphene is one of the most promising supercapacitor electrode materials because of its large surface area, high electrical conductivity, good chemical stability, and excellent mechanical strength,”  Explained Viet Hung Pham, the principal investigator on the report.

Its one critical flaw was cost — which is expected for any exotic material when it’s first adopted by industry. 

From Twice The Price Of Gold… To Coal Tar

The DOE, however, isn’t the only one venturing into the mass-produced graphene space. 

There is a company in Brisbane, Australia, which also has a proprietary graphene production method — this one involving natural gas. 

It too boasts some of the world’s cheapest, highest-quality graphene, on a commercial scale. 

And that, in and of itself, is incredibly significant for the development of the material as a main stream industrial product. 

But this company is doing something with that graphene that nobody else anywhere is doing. 

They’re making rechargeable batteries from the stuff. 

Now, if you know about graphene, you know that it boasts an eye-popping metric such as possessing 200 times the strength of steel. 

Everything It Touches Becomes Extreme

Or weighing less than an ounce per acre. 

But when put into the inner working guts of the battery, those batteries begin to adopt some of the same next-level performance potential. 

Graphene-based batteries last 3-5 times longer than Lithium-Ion. 

They hold 2-3 times the charge… and they charge at 70x the speed. 

That meands you could charge a car in less time than it would take you to read this post.

Like I said, these operational performance numbers are next level, and it all comes in a safer, more stable, all-but fireproof package. 

It also comes with no lithium, which opens an entirely new avenue of benefits — namely being able to operate independently of the Chinese Lithium Empire, which expands its reach on a daily basis. 

And with this being an Australian company, those advantages over Beijing aren’t just economic but political as well. 

A Thorn In The Side Of The CCP?

This graphene company is currently barely on anybody’s radar, and yet, they’re already turning out some of the earliest examples of these super batteries at their Brisbane production facility. 

However, things are really about to start moving as the next stage comes for this materials-tech firm.

Sometime next year, we could well start seeing them in small consumer electronics devices. 

Eventually, there wil be no corner of the market currently dominated by lithium ion where these batteries wouldn’t outperform at every level. 

Now, here’s where things get really interesting. 

It’s valued at less than $100M USD, and it trades on two of our exchanges. 

If you’ve got an online brokerage account, you could own a part of this company in the next five minutes. 

The potential here, is like few I’ve ever seen, especially with prices in the entire microcap sector taking a beating for the last year or so. 

It’s right there, under your nose. Waiting.
