The Midddlesex County Utilities Authority (MCUA) is designing and constructing an Advanced Anaerobic Digestion Facility to increase the efficiency of the solids handling process of wastewater treatment. This facility will increase renewable energy production, decrease the weight of sludge processed and reduce overall emissions of the Treatment Plant by approximately 23%
The project entails the decommissioning and dismantling of the coal boilers at ASRC and installing other energy and water-use efficiency equipment. It also includes the installation of a new boiler house with three natural gas boilers and a new boiler water treatment process. The installation is projected to save 40 million gallons of water and at least 43,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually, a 44% GHG reduction.
LS GreenLink USA, Inc. ("LS GreenLink"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of LS Cable & System Ltd., will specialize in manufacturing subsea power cables in the United States. The subsea power cables to be manufactured by LS GreenLink are integral to the global supply chain for offshore wind farms and designed to optimize bulk clean-power transmission. LS GreenLink will set new standards by introducing advanced manufacturing capabilities to support the global clean technology industry.
LANXESS Corporation will expand its Charleston, South Carolina facility's phosphorus trichloride (PCl3) production capabilities to manufacture a battery-grade PCl3, essential for producing a critical battery component in electric vehicle (EV) batteries and energy storage systems. This project will further enhance the roles of the existing LANXESS workforce while supporting local workforce development through partnerships that prioritize prevailing wages, apprenticeship programs, and community engagement. This expansion plays a pivotal role in strengthening the U.S. battery manufacturing supply chain and represents a critical step toward sustainable growth and energy independence.
JSW USA's $145 million investment in its Mingo Junction facility will enable our company to produce monopile-grade steel slabs that will support monopile pole towers for usage in the offshore wind energy market. This investment will also reduce JSW USA's Baytown facility's reliance on imported steel slabs significantly and reduce overall carbon emissions by replacing imported slabs which have higher carbon emissions as compared to slabs produced by JSW USA which uses one of the most energy-efficient and lowest carbon-emitting method of steelmaking in the industry. The investment involves purchasing a twin Vacuum Tank Degasser (VTD) with associated transfer cars, tanks, tank covers, tank cover lifting devices, and related material handling systems. The investment will also make upgrades to both strands of the facility's caster. Lastly, this investment will result in the installation of a slab cooling water air mist system as well as auxiliary equipment, such as hydraulic and lubrication units. The project will address a gap in the renewable energy supply chain in the United States while creating and securing prevailing wage jobs in a qualified energy community.
John Cockerill Hydrogen North America will establish its first U.S. based facility for electrolyzer production. This gigafactory will have capacity to manufacture 200 patented 5-megawatt pressurized alkaline electrolyzers per year, which is the equivalent of 1GW electrolyzers per year. The selected location in Baytown, Texas contains a building which would require retrofit activities to be suited for electrolyzer production purposes. John Cockerill will prepare its site for electrolyzer manufacturing, build out production for electrolyzers, establish local supply chains including materials sourced from U.S. suppliers for critical components, and undertake staffing and training of talent to work at the facility, with the objective of starting electrolyzer stack assembly by Year End 2024.
Hyosung HICO plans to invest approximately $51 million, with $38 million qualifying under Section 48C for the construction of an additional building adjacent to the current facility, and enhancements to each production process to boost production capacity and loading rates.
Hydro Aluminum will construct a new $95 million aluminum recycling facility adjacent to its existing plant in the historic energy community of Henderson, Kentucky. The plant will produce Hydro's proprietary HyForge aluminum forging stock for use by automakers in producing high strength, light weight suspension components. Through novel production processes and use of significant amounts of post-consumer scrap, the HyForge material will carry a carbon footprint more than 30% below existing material in the U.S. market.
Highland Materials a unique, patent protected silicon purification technology to produce solar grade polysilicon at less than standard cost and with a 90% reduction in carbon emissions compared to other major manufacturers. Highland will produce 16,000 Metric Tons (MT/year) of solar silicon initially, increasing to 20,000 MT in four years - the equivalent of 11 GW of solar cells.
Hellenic Cables Americas intends to build Project Argo, a new state-of-the-art cable manufacturing facility in Baltimore City, Maryland. Project Argo is the first-of-its-kind manufacturing facility in the U.S. dedicated to manufacturing underwater and underground cables for Offshore Wind and Grid Modernization applications. It addresses the 21st-century, growing energy transition market with high-tech products made in a modern, clean, low-noise, ultra-low-emissions operation. Project Argo will be built on a 36-acre vacant, brownfield, waterfront property in Wagners Point, Baltimore. This site was selected for its deep-water access required for the specialized cable-lay vessels, its proximity to Baltimore's port, extensive logistics infrastructure and labor pool as well as its mid-Atlantic location, ideal to serve all offshore wind projects across the East Coast.
