A supercapacitor made from cement
Energy in a capacitor is (1/2)CV^2 - so 12x the voltage would be 144x the energy.

If they can keep C at the same value in a higher voltage version.

Yep. Trivially, one would expect the capacitance to decrease linearly with voltage.
There's also a question about current leakage.
