LAB7 Backs Homeostasis To Advance CO₂ Conversion Into Synthetic Graphite

Homeostasis, a US-based startup, announces the closing of a strategic partnership and investment by LAB7, the venture building arm of Aramco. Homeostasis is developing a new innovative technology to convert carbon dioxide (CO_₂) into synthetic graphite for industrial applications. This partnership represents a significant step towards advancing sustainable manufacturing practices while supporting global carbon emissions reduction efforts and reinforces LAB7’s role as a strategic partner for startups advancing disruptive technological solutions.

The global shift towards electrification has created an urgent need for critical materials, particularly graphite, which functions as the anode in lithium-ion batteries. Homeostasis is addressing this challenge by transforming CO_₂ emissions into high-value synthetic graphite, enabling lower carbon materials for the energy storage industry, with a focus on electric vehicles battery solutions.

Homeostasis’ technology bridges the gap between CO_₂ capture and critical material production, turning captured emissions into graphite which represents the backbone of the lithium-ion battery architecture.

“Homeostasis welcomes LAB7’s support as we unlock the CO_₂-to-graphite vertical, a new technology for the growing graphite market,” said Homeostasis Co-Founder and CEO Makoto Eyre. “Homeostasis will deliver the ability to produce graphite from the growing global fleet of CO_₂ capture assets.”

Through this partnership and investment, LAB7 will help Homeostasis improve its production process and scale operations effectively, supporting market readiness.

“This partnership is a key step in harnessing the strategic advantages of the circular economy,” said Homeostasis Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer Dr. Julien Lombardi. “Our technology strengthens energy infrastructure by transforming waste streams into a widely available feedstock.”

By combining transformative concepts with actionable solutions, LAB7 and Homeostasis aim to reshape how industries view carbon emissions; not as waste, but as a resource for building a more sustainable future.
