Epsilon Advanced Materials Inc. is establishing a 30,000 MTPA(Phase 1) manufacturing facility in North Carolina to produce sustainable, high performance synthetic graphite anode material, a critical component in lithium-ion batteries.

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.
