(OTCID: TERS) (\"Tersis\" or the \"Company\"), a clean technology company\nadvancing waste-to-value and circular infrastructure solutions, today\nannounced that it has filed a U.S. provisional patent application with the\nUnited States Patent and Trademark Office covering a process to convert\nwaste-derived carbon into a graphenic material intended for energy storage.\nThe application, titled \"Hook-Morphology Graphenic Carbon from Thermochemical\nWaste-Derived Carbon, Electrodes and Electrochemical Cells Comprising the\nSame, and Grid-Scale and Industrial Energy-Storage Systems,\" was filed on\nSeptember 23, 2026.\n\n(https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/12096/316695_hook.jpg)\n\nTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:\nhttps://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/12096/316695_hook.jpg\n\n(https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/12096/316695_why.jpg)\n\nTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:\nhttps://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/12096/316695_why.jpg\n\nPyrolysis and gasification systems produce energy along with a solid carbon\nresidue, commonly called char or biochar. Today, most of that material goes to\nrelatively low-value uses such as soil amendment and filtration, or to\ndisposal. The Tersis application describes treating this residue with a metal\ncatalyst and a controlled sequence of electrical pulses to form a hybrid\ncarbon structure: a nanotube-like stem with graphene sheets attached along its\nlength. The Company refers to this structure as \"hook morphology.\"\n\nIn an electrode, the stem is designed to provide a continuous path for\nelectrons, while the attached graphene is designed to keep the surrounding\nmaterial open so usable surface area is retained through repeated charge and\ndischarge cycles. The application also covers electrodes and cells made with\nthe material, including supercapacitors and hybrid battery-supercapacitor\ncells, as well as modular storage banks for grid frequency response,\nindustrial peak shaving and on-site backup power.\n\nTersis intends to evaluate the technology alongside its SynGenic V3™\nresource-recovery campuses. The Company contemplates a site design in which\nthe waste-conversion unit supplies both the carbon feedstock and the\nelectricity for the upgrading step, with the resulting material used in\nstorage that supports the site and, where appropriate, the local grid.\n\nThe technology is at an early stage of development. Next steps include\nelectron-microscopy characterization across different feedstocks, process\nrefinement to improve yield, methods to separate the target structure from\nother carbon forms, and electrode and cell testing. A provisional application\nestablishes a U.S. filing date but is not examined and does not by itself\nresult in an issued patent. Tersis intends to evaluate a nonprovisional\napplication, and potentially international filings, within the 12-month\nprovisional period. No patent has been granted, and no performance results\nhave been established.\n\n\"Waste conversion has always been judged by the energy it produces, and the\ncarbon left behind has been treated as an afterthought,\" said Antonio Uccello,\nFounder of Tersis Technologies. \"That char is carbon we have already paid to\nproduce. This filing protects our approach to giving it a second job in energy\nstorage, with the goal of helping a site steady its own power. There is real\nlaboratory work ahead of us, and we intend to let the test results lead.\"\n\nThe application names Antonio Uccello and Kevin H.
