Entek (48C Self-Disclosed)

ENTEK, a US owned and US based manufacturer, is building a giga-scale factory to produce separators (both coated and uncoated) for lithium batteries for the US market. This significant investment will boost the supply of a critical component for the domestic lithium-ion battery supply chain, helping US automakers achieve content requirements and allowing consumers to access the Clean Vehicle Credit. ENTEK has had the strong support of the Terre Haute community as they build out this project and has committed to providing hundreds of family wage clean energy jobs, investing in the community, and engaging with a large cross-section of stakeholders as they ensure the long-term success of this project in partnership with the broader community.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released applicant self-disclosed information for 22 projects across 17 states that voluntarily shared with DOE that they received a total of nearly $1 billion in allocations from the Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Credit (48C). Nine of the self-disclosed projects indicated they are located in 48C energy communities – communities with closed coal mines or coal plants—showcasing the Biden Administration’s commitment to investing in America’s energy communities.
