BGS OVERVIEW

BEING A SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY LEADER IS AT THE CORE OF OUR DIFFERENTIATED BUSINESS MODEL: HOW WE MAKE OUR GRAPHENE… AND HOW WE APPLY IT

1. Create value through our unique IP by producing consistent, high-quality graphene from 100% organic source materials

Bio Graphene Solutions (BGS) is a clean-tech manufacturer and supplier of graphene from non-graphite based, 100% organic source materials. Graphene’s applications are wide-ranging with the potential to disrupt numerous verticals; however, traditional graphite-based production methods are hugely cost prohibitive, environmentally taxing, and create batch-to-batch product consistency issues. This is where we come in…

BGS has a unique and proprietary approach in providing a real nanotechnology solution (biographene) that’s compact, cost-efficient, and highly controllable – enabling the production of different quality grades of graphene material with a greater degree of product consistency. This versatility in product quality allows BGS to better accommodate final product integration for various markets and applications.

Product confidence is one thing… we also understand being a cost-conscious solution is needed to drive adoption… and we’ve built our business model around this belief. Currently, BGS has external product development partners in batteries, thermoplastics, coatings, and thermoset industries, while internally focussing on product development opportunities for the concrete and asphalt industries.   

2. Apply our biographene product in environmentally taxing products to foster “greener” business decisions – making a real sustainable difference

As a performance additive, BGS’ biographene can be used to greatly improve concrete’s strength, durability, and elasticity while considerably lowering manufacturing/logistics costs. More specifically, adding our graphene can reduce the amount of cement (which contributes 8% to global CO2 emissions) required in the concrete mix design, and in return, significantly reduce the carbon emission footprint of the concrete material used. BGS’ technology has the potential to change the way the world uses and produces graphene for the use in industrial markets.  

*BGS’ proprietary nanotechnology process is patent pending. USPTO # 63/365,739

We believe we are one of the few companies in North America that offers a true cleantech solution – from raw material input (organic) to final end-product application – with meaningful and measurable environmental improvements within the concrete and asphalt industries.

THE GREATEST CHALLENGE WITH TRADITIONAL GRAPHENE IS PRODUCING LARGE VOLUMES AT LOW COST WITH MINIMAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Technological Innovation

With our revolutionary and proprietary nanotechnology process, BGS is entering into untapped, previously inaccessible markets (due to high material & processing costs), including lucrative, high consumption applications like that of the concrete and asphalt industries.

Our Vision

We aim to become the sustainable leader within the graphene market, empowering industry in making greener business decisions to better our global environment

Our Mission

BGS’ mission is to leverage our unique IP and expertise to enable our end-customers to utilize the power of our biographene to improve the performance and sustainability of their end-products in a cost-efficient and scalable manner – changing the way the industry thinks about nanotechnology and how to apply it

A SOUND ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL & CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (ESG) INVESTMENT CHOICE

HOW BGS IS DIFFERENT

SOURCING

  • 100% organic source materials that can be bought in bulk
  • Readily available and consistent input material that’s locally sourced in Canada

Utilization

  • Significant degree of product versatility – capability of providing our end-customers with a biographene powder, a concentrated aqueous solution, or as a coated graphene-enhanced product material.
  • Initial internal focus in developing sustainable solutions within the concrete and asphalt markets.

Production

  • Patent-pending clean-tech graphene powder production protocol with a high degree of controllability that produces zero by-product waste
  • Developing a new proprietary graphene synthesis technology that enables the controllable growth of high-quality biographene in-situ (or within the matrices) of different end-product materials – revolutionizing the integration of graphene into different end-product materials

End Use

  • A real sustainable performance additive – the high-quality of our biographene material makes it a good candidate for battery, coating, electronic, thermoset, and thermoplastic applications

What Is graphene

Graphene is produced by isolating a single layer of carbon atoms and is said to be many times stronger than steel. Replacing chemical additives with graphene in various commercial applications during production significantly lowers cost and improves quality. In fact, adding even a trace amount of graphene to plastics, metals or other materials can make them stronger and/or lighter (i.e., less raw material is needed for the same performance). Characteristics of graphene include: 

  • Strength
  • Toughness
  • Elasticity
  • Thermal and electrical conductivity
  • Water Impermeability
  • Weight reduction
