The GlassPoint project will reduce 760,000 metric tons of CO2 annually at a southern California industrial facility by using GlassPoint?s proprietary concentrating solar and thermal storage technology. The project will generate over 54% of the process heat requirement, reducing 760,000 metric tons per year of CO2, preserving 400 operational jobs and 400 indirect and induced jobs while delivering cost savings and environmental benefits.
eVAC Magnetics leads manufacturing of rare earth permanent magnets in the Western Hemisphere with the advancement of its first U.S. manufacturing facility in Sumter, SC, projected to create 300 new jobs, with operations beginning in the fall of 2025. eVAC, which is part of the Vacuumschmelze Group, produces rare earth neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets, which are critical to automotive, defense, industrial and renewable energy applications.
Eaton is investing $22M in equipment at its Waukesha, Wisconsin, facility to increase manufacturing capacity of three-phase transformers for utility, data center, large commercial and industrial applications. Eaton's equipment provides vital functionality to support electric grid resilience, renewable energy projects and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.
Electric Hydrogen is leveraging American innovation and manufacturing expertise to produce its product at industrial scale with the establishment of its Gigafactory in Devens, MA. This facility will be among the largest electrolyzer factories in the world, providing U.S. green hydrogen developers with high-performance, domestically manufactured electrolyzers at lower cost than Chinese produced systems. Once fully ramped to its 1.2 GW per year capacity, the gigafactory's stacks will generate enough green hydrogen to eliminate up to 2.4 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year. The Devens gigafactory's first electrolyzer stacks will be shipped later this year to a customer-sited project in southeast Texas.
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.
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.
EnergySource Minerals, LLC ("ESM") is a privately held company leading the development of Project ATLiS, a premier lithium project located in Imperial County, California (the "Project" or "Project ATLiS"). The Project will result in the extraction and production of battery-spec lithium products utilizing spent geothermal brines from the Salton Sea Known Geothermal Resource Area ("SSKGRA"). The Project aids in ESM's mission to domestically produce low cost, low carbon, lithium products that are safe and efficient to operate. The Project is located adjacent to the existing Featherstone geothermal power plant ("Featherstone Plant"), which includes a fully built geothermal power production facility, production and injection well field, power, and water utilities. The Project will create up to 450 direct construction jobs and 71 direct operations, manufacturing, and asset management jobs after the Project is operational. ESM, in coordination with its EnergySource LLC ("EnergySource") affiliate, has specialized in geothermal power operations and development on the SSKGRA since 2006. ESM has an experienced commercial development team executing the Project, including members of the Featherstone Plant development team, industry experts in lithium, and world class vendors and their engineering teams. The Project includes the construction and operation of a new 25-acre manufacturing facility in Imperial County, CA (the "Facility") to produce approximately 20,000 metric tons ("tonnes") per annum battery quality lithium hydroxide monohydrate ("LHM") from geothermal brines. The Facility will be located on 80 acres of land that is adjacent to the Featherstone Plant which will supply feedstock brine for the Project. The Facility is close to the town of Calipatria, on the eastern shore of the Salton Sea (33° 12'15.45" N, 115° 34'35.60" W - approximately 200 miles (320 km) from Los Angeles and nearby Port of Long Beach). The LHM produced from this Project will be fully utilized for battery powered electric vehicles ("EVs").
Eaton is expanding production capacity of voltage regulators at their Nacogdoches, TX manufacturing facility. The current facility sits at 192,650 sq ft and produces single-phase polemount and padmount transformers. This project will add 243,000 sq ft to the existing facility and will accommodate increased manufacturing of voltage regulators. The investment at the Nacogdoches, TX facility will increase Eaton's ability to meet customer demands and support utility companies' efforts to modernize the grid. Voltage regulators are a key component in grid stability and resiliency because they hold the distribution line voltage constant. This project will also facilitate the expanded production of medium voltage liquid-immersed transformers for distribution utilities at Eaton's Waukesha, WI facility. Voltage regulators and distribution transformers are necessary to meet current and long-term electricity demand and to enable the broader use of distributed energy resources and electrification of the nation's transportation system.
