X Energy, LLC (48C Self-Disclosed)

X-energy's TRISO-X company manufactures TRi-structural ISOtropic (TRISO) coated-particle fuel; each particle consists of a uranium, carbon and oxygen fuel kernel encapsulated in three layers of carbon or ceramic materials which prevent the release of radioactive fission products. DOE has demonstrated TRISO's outstanding performance and thereby reduced the risk for industrial use. TRISO-X, using commercial scale equipment at a pilot facility, optimized fuel fabrication processes to generate kernels and TRISO particles with less waste and scrap and higher delivered throughput that provides higher product yield and quality. Our project will construct a new ~215,000 sq ft facility to process uranium enriched to less than 20% uranium-235 (by weight) to manufacture nuclear fuel products, including TRISO pebbles for X-energy's Xe-100 reactors as well as TRISO particles and compacts for other users. The TX-1 will produce ~714,000 Xe-100 pebbles/year. The TX-1 will be built on the 110-acre TRISO-X Campus located in the Horizon Center Industrial Park (Roane County, TN), ~7 miles southwest of the City of Oak Ridge. In 1996, DOE released this land for development of this industrial park to diversify the economic base of the region. Oak Ridge transferred the property to X-energy in 2022 to establish the TRISO-X Campus.

Westinghouse Electric Company (48C Self-Disclosed)

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.

Wallbox (48C Self-Disclosed)

Wallbox, a global EV charging solutions provider, sets to expand its flagship US manufacturing facility in Arlington, Texas, with support of the 48C tax credit, equipping the 150,000-square-foot facility with multiple new EVSE assembly lines and a validation lab for its suite of EV charging solutions designed exclusively for the North American market-including the Quasar 2 bidirectional charger and best-in-class DC fast chargers, like the new 180 kW Supernova DCFC. Upon project completion, the Arlington facility is expected to be the production home for all Wallbox products sold in the US, each designed to help underpin the transition to EVs and support US clean infrastructure goals, with a projected maximum production capacity of more than 1 million chargers per year by 2030.

Voith Hydro Inc. (48C Self-Disclosed)

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.

Vitro Flat Glass LLC (48C Self-Disclosed)

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.

Twelve Benefit Corporation (48C Self-Disclosed)

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.
