Sollora Carbon Launches Sustainable Carbon Nanosheets
TUCSON, AZ — January 1, 2025: Sollora Carbon (SC) proudly announces the launch of its hemp-derived carbon nanosheets, an eco-friendly material designed to revolutionize industries like energy storage, semiconductors, and aerospace. By transforming agricultural hemp waste into high-performance carbon products, SC is pioneering a sustainable approach to nanotechnology that benefits local farmers, global industries, and the environment.
“Our mission is to bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and environmental stewardship,” said Sylvia French, Founder of Sollora Carbon Works. “Hemp has extraordinary potential—not just as a crop but as a foundation for creating materials that replace toxic, extractive technologies. With our carbon nanosheets, we’re showing that sustainability and performance can combine harmoniously.”
Turning Waste into Opportunity
Sollora Carbon manufactures its nanosheets using bast fibers from hemp stalks—an agricultural byproduct often discarded or underutilized. By partnering with local hemp farmers, SC repurposes this waste to reduce environmental impact while creating new economic opportunities.
“Our process is sustainable from start to finish,” said French. “We use solar energy and closed-loop water systems in production, ensuring every sheet we make replaces materials that depend on fossils and dirty legacy extractive tech. We’re excited to work with hemp farmers and make this innovation accessible to American industries that need it first.”
Revolutionizing Key Industries
SC’s carbon nanosheets, unique for their conductivity, porosity, and mechanical strength, are tailored for high-tech applications such as:
Energy Storage: Supercapacitors and next-generation batteries.
Semiconductors: High-performance materials for advanced electronics.
Aerospace: Lightweight composites for satellites, drones, and aircraft.
With the energy storage market alone projected to reach $16.5 billion by 2030, Sollora Carbon is poised to lead in sustainable nanotechnology.
Transforming the Local Job Market
Sollora Carbon isn’t just about innovation—it’s about community. Job projections estimate SC will grow from employing 10,820 workers in Year 1 to over 541,000 by Year 5, offering even undereducated Tucsonans with accessible positions in biomass collection, processing, and manufacturing. These roles provide opportunities for unskilled and low-skilled labor, with on-the-job training and competitive wages, creating stable incomes for underserved communities while revitalizing regional economies.
“Our goal is to drive inclusive economic development while supporting environmental sustainability,” said French. “We’re proud to create opportunities that uplift local workers and empower communities.”
Calling All Hemp Farmers
Hemp farmers in Tucson and the surrounding areas are encouraged to partner with Sollora Carbon to supply agricultural waste. Together, farmers and SC can turn what is typically discarded into high-tech materials for a greener economy and planet.
“We want to hear from farmers who want to turn waste into innovation,” said French. “Together, we can lead the charge toward solar-centered sustainable solutions.”
