At full capacity, the EnerG2 plant is expected to be able to produce enough advanced carbon material to support 60,000 electric drive vehicles each year. Previous to the Department of Energy award, the company was using rented equipment and facilities for its production. As most other producers of similar materials are located in Asia, this Recovery Act award is supporting an innovative company to build out a domestic industry that creates jobs for U.S. workers. In addition, this project is supporting manufacturing along the full supply chain, with domestic manufacturers supplying most of the project equipment.
