About Sylvatex
Sylvatex is unlocking a cleaner, more resilient future by transforming how the world’s batteries are made. Our manufacturing platform enables sustainable, domestic production of cathode active materials (CAM)—the largest driver of cost, carbon footprint, and supply risk in lithium-ion batteries. Here is a recent publication in Forbes.
By reducing environmental harm, localizing supply chains, and driving cost efficiencies, Sylvatex delivers outsized impact for climate, equity, and resilience. Our work advances decarbonization, energy equity, and industrial onshoring—critical to clean energy, electric vehicles, and emerging technologies like AI.
For more on our legacy, see this article from Series Green.
Why it matters
Today, over 90% of the battery supply chain is concentrated in China, creating high cost, high carbon, and geopolitical vulnerability. Domestic, scalable CAM production is a cornerstone of energy security, reduced emissions, and equitable access to clean technologies.
What sets Sylvatex apart
- Women-led, diverse team committed to scaling climate impact
- Proprietary low-cost process enabled by trade-secret inputs
- Scalable, closed-loop, zero-waste system eliminating water use and toxic waste
- Flexible inputs that support regional production and domestic feedstocks
Measured benefits
- Gigaton-level carbon reductions at scale; third-party verified 60–70% lower CO₂e footprint
- One step process allowing for more efficient recycling of critical minerals
- 20% reduction in CAM costs and >40% lower capital costs for scaling
- Massive reductions in energy with zero water use & no sodium sulfate waste
Impact
Sylvatex creates skilled jobs in local and disadvantaged communities, strengthens U.S. energy security, and democratizes access to clean energy. Our progress is validated by strong customer traction and funding from the U.S. Department of Energy and California Energy Commission. We are positioned to scale solutions that deliver measurable climate, social, and economic benefits for generations to come.

Mission and Vision
Our mission is to accelerate a just and sustainable energy future by transforming how battery materials are made. We enable domestic, zero-waste production of cathode active materials—the critical foundation of energy storage—with dramatically lower environmental impact. By cutting costs, eliminating water and toxic byproducts, and decentralizing supply chains away from dependence on China, we create scalable solutions that expand clean energy access in all communities, including those historically underserved. Our technology drives economic opportunity, energy resilience, and climate stewardship, providing a platform that is both sustainable and essential to meeting global demand for clean energy storage.
