Our Start in Graphene
As Principal Consultant with the American Energy Society, Pheneovate Founder Logan Jenkins attended more than thirty national energy conferences from 2016 to 2018. At these events, early-stage startups, established companies in niche markets, and global brands were introducing energy storage devices, solar cells, and transmission lines using a relatively new material - graphene.
The applications in the energy space were endless, but the material was difficult to source in quantity and notoriously hard to work with.
Two problems in the graphene industry were immediately evident. One, there was no U.S. marketplace with lab-tested and certified product. Two, the research and commercial sector demanded premium quality products and expertise in the emerging field.
Pheneovate was established in 2017 to de-risk the graphene supply chain. Through its U.S. based premium graphene marketplace and its product development expertise, Pheneovate enables breakthroughs in the graphene industry. Our graphene manufacturer relationships showcase the select offerings of premium companies meeting specific criteria; and allow their products to be purchased by researchers, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals worldwide.
Our Trace Sourcing platform and reports showcase authentic and responsibly-sourced carbon products and critical materials and minerals, including rare earth elements and uranium. The Trace platform provides end-to-end transparency in the life cycle of a specific material or mineral, including provenance.

Since 2017, he’s created the first U.S. premium graphene marketplace, established a dozen exclusive partnerships within the graphene industry, and launched the only traceability platform for advanced materials - Trace.
In April of 2020, Logan moved the Pheneovate business to Sheridan, Wyoming and established The WY Ranch, with a focus on the state’s future energy economy. The group is funded by the Department of Energy’s Energy Program for Innovation Clusters.

Through Circular, he’s recently cofounded EOL Solar, focusing on creative solutions for second-life solar panels. Circular was funded through the National Endowment for the Humanities in early 2022. EOL Solar was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy in late 2021.
