Tampa Harbor Tech LLC and Avranoc LLC Announce Joint Venture: Verti Graph Global LLC

December 24, 2024 – Tampa, FL — Tampa Harbor Tech LLC, an industry leader in technology development and innovation, and Avranoc LLC, a pioneering advanced materials solutions provider, today announce the formation of a new joint venture: Verti Graph Global LLC. The venture will focus on developing and deploying vertical farms and graphene battery manufacturing plants across 400+ locations worldwide.

Why Vertical Farms and Graphene Batteries Will Help the World

Transforming Global Food Supply Through Vertical Farms

  1. Sustainable, Year-Round Crop Production
    Traditional agriculture is vulnerable to climate variability, seasonality, and environmental degradation. Vertical farms solve these issues by employing controlled environment agriculture (CEA) techniques, ensuring stable, year-round crop production. By moving farming indoors, crops can thrive irrespective of external climate challenges.
  2. Reduced Water and Land Usage
    Vertical farms use up to 90% less water than conventional farming by recycling water and nutrients in a closed-loop system. Additionally, by growing plants in stacked layers, they require far less land, alleviating pressure on arable land resources and reducing the environmental footprint of food production.
  3. Minimized Supply Chain and Food Miles
    Placing vertical farms in or near urban centers shortens the distance food travels to consumers—often referred to as “food miles”—leading to reduced transportation costs, lower carbon emissions, and fresher produce for local communities.
  4. Improved Food Security and Resilience
    By creating localized, climate-independent food sources, vertical farms help nations and communities become more resilient to global supply chain disruptions, natural disasters, and geopolitical uncertainties.

Driving Clean Energy and Innovation with Graphene Batteries

  1. High Performance and Longevity
    Graphene-based batteries have the potential for faster charging, higher energy density, and extended lifespans compared to conventional lithium-ion cells. This technological leap can accelerate the global transition to clean energy, enhancing the performance and reliability of electric vehicles, renewable energy storage, and consumer electronics.
  2. Enhanced Grid Stability
    As more regions integrate renewable energy sources—like solar and wind—into their grids, efficient energy storage becomes critical for balancing supply and demand. Graphene batteries can store excess energy during off-peak times, then release it when demand is high, stabilizing the grid and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
  3. Lower Environmental Impact
    Utilizing graphene batteries helps reduce the environmental damage associated with battery waste. Graphene’s unique properties enable more efficient use of raw materials and prolonged battery life cycles, leading to less frequent replacements and a smaller overall ecological footprint.
  4. Catalyst for Technological Advancement
    Breakthroughs in graphene battery technology can spur innovation across multiple industries, from healthcare wearables to aerospace systems, driving economic growth and opening new avenues for research and development.

“Verti Graph Global LLC represents a milestone in our commitment to global sustainability,” said Bill Appleyard, CEO of Tampa Harbor Tech LLC. “We believe that combining our technical know-how with Avranoc’s advanced materials expertise will yield profound benefits for communities worldwide—from cleaner energy to healthier, more reliable food sources.”

“Avranoc LLC has always been at the forefront of advanced materials research, and we’re excited to collaborate with Tampa Harbor Tech LLC,” added [Name], President of Avranoc LLC. “Together, we will provide scalable, eco-friendly solutions that address pressing issues in food security and sustainable energy, propelling the world toward a more resilient future.”

Finding New Buildings in the Dust of the Old

With the continued and growing emphasis on sustainability in construction we could be on the verge of a radical shift in how we think about the current stock of buildings. The time may be coming when we stop planning for building replacement, and instead plan for building reuse. That in turn would significantly change the roles of designers and builders.

The housing industry has proceeded at a red-hot pace for several years running. An all-time record was set in 1998, when 886,000 new-site single family homes were sold. That represented a 10% gain from the robust total of 804,000 homes sold in 1997, and an 8.1% rise from the prior record of 819,000 units in 1977. Single-family housing construction accounted for $48 million of the total $125 million generated in the industry.
