Graphene CAGR
Path To Scale
Turning Pennsylvania coal from combustion feedstock into graphene, activated carbon, and critical materials on a 56-acre mine-head site built for scale.
America's Advanced Carbon Materials Campus
Opal Industries · Claridge, PA
Feedstock, Not Product
ESG Risk Mitigation
Advanced materials move the brand away from traditional fossil-fuel baggage.
THE STRATEGIC PIVOT
Repositioning coal as advanced feedstock shifts focus from combustion to high-value inputs—graphene and activated carbon—while the Claridge mine-head advantage cuts logistics, energy cost, and ESG risk.
Existing mine infrastructure
56-acre commercially zoned site with mine access and natural tree buffer.
On-site mine methane
Energy from methane utilization lowers operational and power costs.
Reduce operations cost
Mine-head processing shortens the path from resource to advanced material.
