ENTEK Lithium Separators Receives Direct Loan from Department of Energy Loan Programs Office for Indiana EV Battery Separator Manufacturing Plant
ENTEK, the only U.S.-owned and U.S.-based producer of ‘wet-process’ lithium-ion battery separator materials, announced today that it has received a direct loan of up to $1.2 billion to ENTEK Lithium Separators LLC (ENTEK) from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Loan Programs Office (LPO).
The loan will substantially finance the new facility in Terre Haute, Indiana to manufacture lithium-ion battery separators to be used primarily in electric vehicles (EVs). This project will strengthen and onshore the lithium-ion battery cell supply chain, enabling the creation of batteries used in advanced technology vehicles.
