UP Catalyst

Meet us in person at East Hall 7, Booth Number: E81-8 (Tokyo Big Sight) of the Tokyo Smart Energy Week 2025.

UP Catalyst, an Estonian startup company, that offers CO₂ utilization technology to convert CO₂ emissions into battery-grade carbon nanotubes and graphite.

At UP Catalyst, we aim to establish Europe’s first large-scale sustainable production of advanced carbon materials utilizing captured CO₂ emissions from industries such as waste-to-energy, biogas, concrete, aluminum, steel and others. By converting 3.7 tons of CO₂ into 1 ton of carbon materials, UP Catalyst helps industrial partners reduce environmental impact while providing manufacturers with high-quality, competitive raw materials. This solution mitigates supply-chain risks, enhances sustainability, and ensures compliance with EU regulations. We are looking for opportunities to expand to Japan.

With the goal of producing 60,000 tons of carbon materials by 2030, UP Catalyst aims to abate around quarter of a million tons of CO₂, contributing to the sustainability goals of a wide range of industries.
