Puraglobe is expanding and re-equipping a facility in Tampa, Florida to expand its innovative Used Motor Oil (UMO) refining technology to the United States. Puraglobe?s approach allows the company to recycle UMO that would otherwise be wasted, creating a new and secure supply of Group III base oils that are critical to continued U.S. dominance of the automotive, industrial and other critical sectors.
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.
