The cleantech alternative
for graphene production

Our game-changing technology allows our revolutionary biographene to become a widely accessible and affordable material while contributing to reduced carbon emissions and a cleaner environment in several ways:

WE PRODUCE GRAPHENE FROM 100% ORGANIC Material

Our primary raw material input is biochar that can be easily sourced locally in Canada.

OUR NANOTECHNOLOGY PRODUCTION PROCESS IS ECOLOGICALLY FRIENDLY

Traditional graphite-based manufacturing methods of graphene use harmful chemicals, solvents, and exfoliants to breakdown carbon to produce their final graphene material – creating by-product waste. Comparatively, BGS’ technology is able to utilize organic materials via thermal-mechanical conversion that can produce a sustainable and high-quality biographene that’s extremely consistent in characterization.

OUR FOCUS ON THE CONCRETE MARKETS

Concrete is the second most consumed material worldwide (after water). The key ingredient in concrete is cement and is the source of 8% of the world’s global carbon emissions (3x that of the aviation industry). To put this into perspective, if the cement industry was a country, it would be the 3rd largest emitter in the world behind China and the US*. However, incorporating as little as 0.5% of graphene as an additive in the concrete production process has the potential to significantly reduce the amount of cement needed in the concrete mix design without sacrificing the final performance of the concrete product – dramatically reducing cement’s carbon footprint.

OUR FOCUS ON THE ASPHALT MARKETS

Asphalt (derived from bitumen) also has a significant carbon footprint associated with the production roads and highways. Adding graphene to the bitumen mix can significantly increase the life use of roads; reducing maintenance costs due to the increased strength, elasticity, and water impermeability that is gained from the graphene-bitumen mix**.

We enable companies to qualify to save BIG money

BGS is actively investigating Carbon Credit eligibility for the use of its’ biographene in the markets that it services. This could result in significant savings for BGS’ end-customers and further facilitate why BGS is a solid Environmental, Social & Corporate Governance (ESG) investment opportunity for our current and future shareholders.

A PATH TO SAVINGS VIA CARBON CREDITS

BGS’ GREEN GRAPHENE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PLAY A GAME-CHANGING ROLE IN THE GLOBAL CO2 CRISIS

Our Process

We provide unique value proposals and real sustainable benefits to our suppliers and end-use customers. With the addition of potential Carbon Credit eligibility, we believe we are becoming a true ESG investment opportunity with multiple sustainability propositions. BGS is supported by Federal Government initiatives, as well as industrial material leaders and our external product partners.

Carbon Neutrality

BGS is positioned to achieve carbon credit leadership not only from our biographene, but also by contributing to reduced industry CO2 emissions in the concrete and asphalt markets that we serve:

Carbon Offsets: Carbon Credits are currently being investigated for possible qualiﬁcation due to the conversion of organic carbon feed material that produces our biographene
