Orlando, FL (March 11, 2025) – C-BATT, a leader in advanced battery materials, made a strong impact at the NAATBatt 2025 Annual Conference in Orlando, where the focus was on the urgent need for energy dominance in United States.
Members of C-BATT presented its groundbreaking US-sourced Obsidia™ high-capacity battery anode material as a key player in the domestic battery supply chain.
“You can’t have energy dominance if you don’t have a domestic battery source,” said Bill Easter, President of C-BATT. “C-BATT’s 100% American supply chain for Obsidia reinforces it as a leader in securing America’s energy independence, and we are excited about the partnerships formed from our participation at NAATBatt.”
C-BATT’s fully domestic production model ensures that every stage of the Obsidia lifecycle—from raw material sourcing to manufacturing and final assembly—takes place in the United States. Obsidia and its blends hold significantly more lithium per gram than graphite. At its core is domestically mined carbon, setting a benchmark for innovation, reliability, and energy independence in the battery materials industry.
In addition to its performance advantages, Obsidia is designed to be cost-competitive. C-BATT’s streamlined production process enables the company to position Obsidia within a market-ready price point that meets the needs of both commercial and consumer markets, making it significantly lower cost than other silicon-based anode materials.
