What americarbon products does

AmeriCarbon is a privately held, for-profit U.S. industrial materials company headquartered in Morgantown, West Virginia, that manufactures carbon pitch and graphite from coal and coal waste using its proprietary Eco-Pitch™ carbon liquefaction process. The company positions itself as a 100% domestically sourced alternative to imported coal tar pitch, sourcing feedstock from Appalachia and other U.S. coal sources (lignite, sub-bituminous, bituminous, and coal waste) and serving three primary verticals: commercial manufacturing, defense contractors, and infrastructure development.

The company's core technology is the patented Eco-Pitch™ carbon liquefaction process, which transforms carbon ore into a versatile liquid carbon form that can be customized to customer specifications. Byproducts of the process concentrate rare earth elements in ash. AmeriCarbon markets two products under this platform: Eco-Pitch™ (a coal tar pitch substitute used for carbon electrodes, anodes, EV battery components, carbon fibers, graphene nanotubes, and carbon foams) and Eco-Pitch™ Graphite (a domestically sourced graphite product). The process is claimed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 92% relative to the displaced coal tar pitch products.

AmeriCarbon operates a B2B direct sales model, targeting enterprise customers across manufacturing, defense, and infrastructure with quote-based, tailored pricing. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales (no subscriptions or licensing fees disclosed). Specific revenue, pricing, headcount, and funding data are not publicly disclosed. The senior team is composed primarily of former U.S. Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory (DOE NETL) executives and scientists, supplemented by a Venture Partner with ties to multiple regional investment firms.
