This project will construct a new, state-of-the-art plant at the Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility site in Hopkins, South Carolina to manufacture advanced nuclear fuel assemblies with Low Enrichment Uranium Plus (LEU+) enrichments up to 8% uranium-235. The plant will produce LEU+ fuel that can operate longer and produce more energy to operate for extended operation and at higher power to improve the efficiency of carbon-free power generation in Pressurized Water Reactors. Approximately 750 years of work will be needed to deliver the plant, which will add 100 long term jobs and sustain the CFFF workforce long into the 21st century.

Through this project, Twelve will design, construct, and deploy a manufacturing facility for its core technology, the Opus CO2 electrolyzers, in Alameda, CA, establishing ourselves as the world's largest manufacturer of PEM CO2 electrolyzers. This project will continue to grow the carbon transformation industry, potentially enabling thousands of new jobs across a growing clean energy manufacturing industry. The Opus units manufactured from this site will be used at other Twelve projects to produce power-to-liquid (PtL) sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and other value-added chemicals, supporting the Administration's ambitious decarbonization goals and enabling the scale needed to compete with petroleum-based products produced in the US.

Vitro Architectural Glass, with headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has proposed to expand its architectural glass plant in Wichita Falls, Texas to construct a new oxygen-fueled furnace with a roll forming process to domestically produce patterned glass using a base low-iron solar glass substrate. The U.S. Department of Energy recommended the proposal to the Internal Revenue Service which approved a Section 48C(e) funding allocation up to $67.66 million in income tax credits based on the eligible capital and prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements. The proposed project would support 1,180 full-time equivalent construction jobs and 290 new full-time Vitro employees.

Voith will re-equip its existing 220,000 square foot hydropower manufacturing facility located at 760 East Berlin Road, in York, Pennsylvania with new, state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, including an AP 120 TM Vertical Turning Lathe and a Horizontal Boring and Milling Machine. These new machines offer increased production capacity, improved product quality, reduced downtime, and, most importantly, enhanced worker safety for the manufacturing of hydropower and pumped storage hydropower components. The project will support retention of about 100 skilled and apprentice welders, machinists and other crafts from the IAMAW union workforce as well a creating several addition positions for operation and maintenance of the new equipment. The project construction draws from local construction firms and other small and local businesses for construction services and materials.

TS Conductor has been awarded up to $36 million through the 48C program to help establish a clean energy manufacturing facility in Indiantown, Florida. The facility will manufacture the Total Solution Conductor (TSC), a high-performance electrical transmission distribution conductor that will drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The eligible facility, known as the Carbon Composite Conductor Florida Expansion (CCCFE), will be located on the site of the Indiantown Cogeneration Plant. The project will meet prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements and expand opportunities for workers impacted by the energy transition away from coal and fossil fuel-based industries. TS Conductor Corp. is a Minority Owned Business that manufactures advanced high-capacity conductors that can triple power grid capacity without retrofitting any structures in existing right of way and reduce line loss by half. It also facilitates new transmission line construction with the least capital expenditure among all conductor options. Deployed nationwide, TSC would reduce energy generation GHG emissions from line-loss by approximately 60 million metric tons per year (Mt yr) or 1.2% of all U.S. GHG emissions. Even more impactful, further deployment would increase capacity of existing grid infrastructure to support 100% of the solar and wind generation projects currently seeking grid interconnection.

Topsoe is planning a state-of the art factory in Chesterfield, Virginia, that will manufacture Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cell stacks (SOEC), the key element to the world's most efficient electrolyzer technology. The cells will be used to produce clean hydrogen, which is essential for the US and global energy transition. The factory is expected to create at least 150 direct jobs in Virginia and more than 1,000 indirect jobs through the value chain.

This project will establish Hawaii?s first PV module processing and recycling facility using state-of-the-art module recycling machinery. This facility will be able to process Hawaii's used, decommissioned, or discarded solar panels into critical materials that will be recirculated into the clean energy domestic supply chain.

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.

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.

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.
