SOLARCYCLE is investing in a state-of-the-art $344 million glass plant in Cedartown, Georgia. This new facility will create some of the cleanest solar glass in the world by using recycled glass from retired solar systems as an input. Compared to imported solar glass, our product will reduce trade risk, increase innovation, and create benefits for the domestic economy. With support from the Department of Energy, Internal Revenue Service, and the State of Georgia, our advanced process will produce 1,000 metric tons per day (MTD) of rolled, patterned solar glass - enough for 5-6 gigawatts (GW) of annual solar module manufacturing capacity -while creating 600 full time jobs in clean energy manufacturing. SOLARCYCLE's proprietary technology can recycle up to 95% of the value of a solar panel and produce materials like silver, silicon, copper, and aluminum. Founded by experts in solar manufacturing, e-waste recovery, and sustainability, we have partnered with over 50 of the largest solar asset owners to provide recycling services. This project will help create a circular economy for solar and renewable energy in the U.S.

The Project will result in expanded capacity and increased throughput for the manufacturing of clean energy systems. At full capacity, Stark Compression will produce 10-15 biogas plant systems and 8-10 landfill gas systems per year, which will require the manufacture of 250-300 individual skids.

The Sublime Systems plant in Holyoke MA is a commercial scale facility for an innovative, clean cement production process. It is designed to produce Sublime Cement at volumnes that will validate the scalability of the technology in the construction industry. The facility bridges the gap between laboratory innovation and full-scale commercial production, paving the way for increased American cement production.

Syrah Technologies LLC owns and operates the vertically integrated natural graphite active anode material (AAM) facility in Vidalia, Louisiana, supplying the lithium-ion battery supply chain in the United States. Syrah Technologies intends to significantly expand its AAM facility at Vidalia from its current operational 11,250 metric tons per annum (TPA) AAM capacity to a 45,000 TPA AAM capacity. This project aims to support manufacturing, processing, and refining of AAM from natural graphite feedstock supplied from the Balama graphite operation in Mozambique.

Prysmian's qualifying advanced energy project involves equipping and expanding an existing manufacturing facility in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, to facilitate the increased production of advanced transmission conductors utilizing Prysmian's innovative E3X Technology. The facility expansion will enable Prysmian to manufacture larger E3X Conductors more efficiently and quickly, doubling the capacity of E3x coated conductor production and supporting advancements in power transmission. Prysmian's strategy aligns with the main market drivers by developing resilient, high-performing, sustainable, and innovative cable systems for the transmission, power grid, electricity and digital solutions segments.

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.

Permascand USA, INC, a subsidiary of Permascand Top Holding AB (Permascand), is a technology-driven manufacturer of electrochemical solutions based on proprietary catalytic coatings for clean tech applications. The company has supplied electrodes, electrochemical cells and aftermarket services to a variety of sectors for more than 50 years. Permascand?s high performance electrodes in the value chain of green hydrogen will be key to reducing the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) by lowering CAPEX and OPEX of hydrogen electrolyzers. This project expands our manufacturing footprint in the U.S. to include localized production of core components for the production of green hydrogen.

Prolec GE USA is expanding its Shreveport, LA facility to manufacture substation and pad-mount electrical transformers used in wind farms, solar parks and other industrial and renewable energy applications, investing in state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment and the installation of a third production line that will help ease U.S. transformer supply chain concerns. Additional investment dollars are being used to upgrade the existing 500,000 square foot facility and infrastructure to increase Prolec GE's efficiencies and reduce waste while providing a better work environment and accommodating capacity increases for its traditional voltage regulator and network transformer customers.

Nel will build three production lines 1.5 GW of total annual electrolyzer production. Each 500 MW line is a production module that can be replicated, as required, to meet business objectives and increase the facility output. This project is expected to reduce the cost of electrolyzers through a fully automated production and contribute to establish the U.S. as the leader in the production of low-cost, high volume, durable, and efficient electrolyzers.

Nel has been awarded up to $41 million in investment tax credits for its planned electrolyser manufacturing expansion in Michigan as part of the Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Tax Credit (48C) program. The company has initiated a significant expansion and industrialization of its manufacturing capacity and is preparing for a future site in Plymouth Charter Township, a suburb of Detroit, Michigan. When fully developed, the facility will be among the world's largest electrode facilities, where Nel will manufacture its next-generation pressurized alkaline and PEM technologies.
