Carbon Cap aims to get a patent on the solid supercapacitor in 2019. To do so, CarbonCap will be following parallel researches based on two different technologies. The first technology is being developed by the help of the battery research group in the Università di Parma. Meanwhile, CarbonCap is developing a its own technology in the UniMoRe laboratories. It is important to remark that those two technologies are not alternatives but aim for two different product typologies. The first well defined objective, is to file the patent of the first technology in middle 2019 and the other by the end of 2019, as above mentioned. Those first two patents will be released in Italy and then, in 2020 will be extended to Europe. At the same time, research and development on hardware will be carried out with future partners. Meanwhile, the patents will be exploited by selling licenses to the customers.

When Elon Musk of Telsa first came to Silicon Valley he was researching advanced, highly-dense energy super-capacitors at Stanford. Coincidentally, when giving a speech at the Cleantech Forum in San Francisco about the future of the electric vehicles Elon Musk said: “If I were to make a prediction, I’d think there’s a good chance that it is not batteries, but supercapacitors.” Supercapacitors are finding application in consumer electronics, hybrid and electric vehicles, industrial power management, and defense industry. Almost all the automotive companies have started using supercapacitors in start and stop systems, engine assist, and in charging stations. The supercapacitors estimated market value at USD 0.76 billion in 2017, and it is expected to be USD 2.25 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 9.09%, over the forecast period (2018 - 2021). The market CarbonCap naturally belongs to is the 30% of the total, being mostly focused on the automotive sector. Based on the internally cond...
