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.
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.
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.
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.
TimberHP makes building insulation from waste wood fiber as an alternative to fiber glass and foam. High performing and non-toxic, TimberHP is renewable, recyclable and the only scalable insulation solution with a negative carbon footprint. When operating at full capacity, TimberHP Madison will produce almost 20 tons of product an hour, utilize over 250,000 green tons of softwood residuals per year, generate $168M of revenue, and employ 144.
Gunnison Copper - Nuton is a partnership comprised of Gunnison Copper Corp. fka Excelsior Mining Arizona, Inc. (?Gunnison Copper?), and Nuton LLC (?Nuton?), a Rio Tinto technology venture. Both Gunnison and Rio Tinto have historically focused on copper extraction and production, investing in developing more sustainable practices. Gunnison Copper will undertake operations at the Johnson Camp Mine in Arizona using the Nuton Technologies to recover hard to extract primary sulfide ore. Expanding existing facilities, the Project will produce 99.999% pure, Grade A copper cathode, which is ready for domestic manufacturers. The Nuton Technologies produce a low-impact copper cathode compared to conventional technologies.
Framatome's project expands and re-equips an existing facility to increase the manufacturing capacity of specialized components for nuclear power reactors. This supports a growing demand for nuclear while creating high-paying jobs and local economic benefits.
General Matter is strengthening America?s nuclear energy industry by restoring US leadership in uranium enrichment. This project will establish the manufacturing capacity for General Matter?s novel enrichment capability. This project?s output will support the nuclear industry?s ability to generate clean firm power and will enhance US energy security.
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.
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.
