C-BATT’s Obsidia™ Anode Material Set to Strengthen U.S. Military Readiness and American Energy Independence

With batteries now central to modern energy infrastructure and defense strategy, C-BATT is moving forward with a major leap in American-made battery technology, preparing Obsidia™ to deliver the performance, durability and independence required for the next era of battery storage.

According to federal energy forecasts, battery storage grid additions are expected to surpass those of wind and natural gas combined in 2025.

Yet nearly all advanced battery storage entering the grid today depends on Chinese-supplied graphite, a strategic vulnerability directly impacting both national security and domestic energy independence.

The U.S. military faces this pressure firsthand.

“The U.S. military just put in an order for 1 million drones, and most of those will use a battery,” said Bill Easter, VP of C-BATT. “As batteries become foundational to both defense and energy infrastructure, American independence in anode materials becomes more important than ever.”

For this reason, the Department of Energy has labelled graphite as one of the highest priorities on the 2025-35 U.S. Material Criticality Matrix.

C-BATT’s Obsidia™ Anode material, invented and made in the USA, can replace and displace Chinese graphite.

C-BATT is positioning Obsidia™—a next-generation domestic anode material—as a direct response to the urgent need for a lighter, higher-performing and fully American-sourced alternative designed to support national security and reduce U.S. reliance on foreign supply chains.

Obsidia™ is engineered to strengthen national security by reducing U.S. reliance on foreign sources while delivering a measurable step-change in capabilities.

With higher energy density than traditional graphite, Obsidia™ has the potential to extend mission duration, reduce battery weight burdens on soldiers, and enhance operational flexibility for defense applications.

Obsidia™ also provides a clear path to reduce a critical infrastructure supply chain vulnerability in grid batteries by displacing Chinese graphite and increasing American energy independence and resilience.

Obsidia™, made with high tech polymer derived ceramics infused with Appalachian coal, enables a fully domestic supply chain, delivering a direct answer to global vulnerabilities in critical battery materials for American Grid and Military resilience.
