Graphite Innovation and Technologies, or GIT, has inked a $2.4 million deal with Transport Canada to develop technology aimed at reducing underwater noise pollution and cutting ships’ greenhouse gas emissions.
Founded in 2017 by Mo AlGermozi and Marciel Gaier, Dartmouth-based GIT manufactures graphene coatings designed to prevent corrosion and improve the durability of ships hulls, dams and other equipment subjected to extreme environments. Graphene is a carbon-based material that is 200 times stronger than steel and efficiently conducts heat and electricity.
