Skeleton in 2022: Stepping into the Big Leagues

This year, Skeleton became only the 4th European company ever to be inducted into the Global Cleantech 100 Hall of Fame after seven consecutive nominations on the Global Cleantech 100 list. It's a recognition of our long-term commitment to developing the best energy storage solutions globally, helping our customers save energy, cut CO2 emissions, and slash fuel consumption.

However, just being committed is not enough. In June, Skeleton scientists Jaan Leis, Mati Arulepp, and Anti Perkson were honoured with the European Inventor Award, highlighting what keeps Skeleton at the top: our investment in material development and our proprietary Curved Graphene raw material. Manufactured at Skeleton Materials in Bitterfeld-Wolfen, Germany, Curved Graphene and the European Investor Award symbolize what Skeleton is about: pushing boundaries and never giving up in the fight against climate change.

For years, Skeleton has been on the leading edge of the supercapacitor industry with our high-power energy storage solutions, but during 2022, we have taken big steps forward and have become the go-to partner for fast energy storage in on-road and off-road transportation, in power grids, and in industrial applications.

Construction is already under way for Leipzig Superfactory, the largest and most advanced supercapacitor factory in the world. Designed in cooperation with Siemens Digital Industries, will increase our production capacity 40-fold, allowing us to meet the increasing demand from electrification and decarbonization projects globally.

In September, we launched our unique SuperBattery technology, filling the gap between supercapacitors and batteries, enabling electrification in hard-to-abate industries. A great example of this is our agreement on electrifying mining haul trucks with Shell. It is estimated that mining constitutes 2-3% of global CO2 emissions yearly and within mining, 40-50% of emissions come from diesel-powered machinery. This is exactly why decarbonizing mining together with Shell will have an enormous impact on carbon emissions, and this is only the first example of many such projects to come.

With only a few weeks left in what has been a challenging year for many of us, it's time to thank all of You, our partners and our customers. Together with everyone at Skeleton, I want to thank you for our continued, successful cooperation so far and in the years to come. Make no mistake, together we can fight and win against climate change.

Merry Christmas and a successful New Year!
