Nanocellulose-based supercapacitor technology upcycles waste wood
A Finnish start-up seeks to commercialise the energy storage technology for grid stabilisation and industrial applications.
The nanocellulose-based material reportedly binds biocarbon structures for power storage.
The start-up Granarium Technologies says, 'The system acts as a fast-response layer within energy systems, complementing batteries and addressing short-duration power needs, such as grid balancing, frequency response, and industrial power quality. The devices help manage peak loads, improve power quality, and manage distributed power generation'.
Granarium originated from Finnish research organisation VTT, with patents granted and validated technology (TRL5).
The company says it has secured pilot customers and partners, and is preparing to launch its first pilots within six months of funding, focusing on process industries and continuously running production operations.
Initial commercial production will begin at a small industrial scale, with capacity to deliver up to 50 units per year, forming the basis for rapid scale-up through industrial partnerships and international market expansion.
