OLIVEION — Hard carbon anode material from Saudi olive seed

From waste to energy

01 · Transport

Olive seed

Seeds left over from regional olive pressing — biomass that would otherwise be waste.

02 · Carbonize

Pyrolysis

Controlled high-temperature pyrolysis converts the seed into a non-graphitizable carbon.

03 · Mill

Hard carbon

Milled and classified to a battery-grade powder with a tuned particle-size distribution.

Why sodium-ion

Sodium is everywhere.
The anode is the bottleneck.

As demand for energy storage climbs, sodium-ion is emerging as the complement to lithium-ion, a lower-cost option for the jobs that need it most. Sodium is cheap, abundant, and free of the geopolitical constraints that come with lithium and cobalt.

Its anode is the piece to get right: sodium-ion runs on hard carbon. OLIVEION produced hard carbon with an agricultural waste by-product. We are keeping the supply chain short, local, and low-carbon.

Grid & stationary storageCost per kWh and material abundance matter more than peak energy density.
Entry-level EVsAffordable electric mobility on a low-cost, thermally robust chemistry.
Two- & three-wheelersMass-market scooters where price drives adoption.
Backup & telecom powerUPS, off-grid and cold-climate sites that benefit from low-temperature performance.

Four reasons it's a better hard carbon.

01

Bio-sourced, not fossil

Made entirely from olive-seed biomass — no petroleum coke or synthetic resin precursor.

02

Circular by design

Valorizes a waste stream from the regional olive industry instead of competing for new feedstock.

03

Tuned for performance

Microstructure engineered for reversible Na⁺ capacity and a stable, low first-cycle loss.

04

Local & traceable

A short Saudi-based supply chain — from Saudi olive groves to a single, documented carbon grade.

The circular case

A by-product, given a second life.

Olive oil pressing leaves behind hard, woody seeds, usually discarded or burned. We carbonize them into battery-grade hard carbon, giving an agricultural by-product a far higher-value second life.
