Carbon Offsets

Volt Carbon Technologies, in partnership with EmitIQ, has initiated a Carbon Project Feasibility Assessment to explore the viability and benefits of implementing a carbon offset project using Volt Carbon’s innovative dry separation process in graphite production. The feasibility study will conduct thorough research on the project background, market analysis, methodology selection, and carbon credit pricing, providing key findings, recommendations, and financial projections. Furthermore, a sustainability page will be developed and integrated into Volt Carbon Technologies’ website to showcase the Company’s commitment to sustainability, emissions data, reduction goals, and progress, enhancing transparency and accountability.

V-Bond Lee, CEO and President of the company, conveyed, “We were thoroughly impressed with EmitIQ's abilities and certification credentials. This partnership is perfect for further exploring our novel process, which is completely dry compared to other mineral separation processes. This results in much faster process times at our plant, and it stands to reason that our carbon footprint would be lower than other graphite producers. I look forward to seeing the results of the study.”
