Traditional batteries depend heavily on graphite, a critical anode material that is typically mined or produced through energy-intensive industrial processes. XOL is working to create a new pathway by developing biochar carbon and biochar-graphite materials from biomass, with primary feedstocks including hemp and agave, while also evaluating other biomass options.
What makes this approach compelling is not only the battery itself, but the platform behind it. We are building a system that begins with rapidly renewable biomass and moves toward high-value carbon applications across energy storage, water treatment, and other infrastructure technologies.
We have developed an early working battery prototype that successfully charged phones and iPads.

The world is pushing toward electrification, storage, and more resilient infrastructure. But scaling those systems requires materials, and the current material supply chain is under pressure. Graphite demand is rising with battery growth, and conventional production routes carry both supply risk and environmental burden. Natural graphite anode material and synthetic graphite manufacturing are both associated with significant lifecycle emissions, especially when processing is energy intensive.
XOL’s long-term vision is to help reshape that equation.
Our Solution
Our Innovation
Our Solution
XOL’s opportunity is to build a lower-impact pathway by starting with renewable biomass, designing efficient carbon conversion processes, and creating higher-value products from feedstocks that can regrow quickly. If executed well, that could reduce reliance on traditional graphite supply chains while creating new economic value from hemp, agave, and other biomass sources.
How our battery is different from a traditional battery
Most batteries today are built on conventional material pathways, relying on mined or synthetic graphite and supply chains that are increasingly under pressure as global battery demand rises.
XOL is developing a different foundation for energy storage, one built on biochar carbon derived from biomass. Research across the field shows biomass-derived carbons are viable electrochemical materials for next-generation batteries and supercapacitors because of their renewability, low-cost feedstocks, and tunable porous structures.
What makes XOL different is that we begin with grown carbon from biomass such as hemp and agave. Hemp-derived carbon has shown strong electrochemical performance in energy-storage research, including high capacitance and strong cycling stability in hybrid supercapacitor systems.
Agave-derived porous carbon has also shown promise in battery-related applications, reinforcing the potential of renewable plant feedstocks as advanced carbon materials.
A biomass-based carbon platform can create new value from agricultural feedstocks, support more localized production strategies, and open the door to a more sustainable approach to battery materials over time.
At a global level, major automakers and battery companies are working to diversify graphite supply and lower carbon footprints, which underscores how important material origin has become in the future of storage.
XOL is not simply trying to make another battery. We are developing a new carbon pathway for energy storage, one designed around renewable feedstocks, advanced material engineering, and the long-term need for cleaner, more resilient battery systems.
