A major U.S. manufacturer has secured a $50 million grant from the Department of Energy to scale up production of conductive additives, critical materials used in electric vehicle batteries and energy storage systems. The expansion will take place across facilities in Louisiana and Texas, aiming to bolster domestic supply chains for clean energy technologies. The funding highlights growing federal investment in strengthening America’s role in the EV and renewable energy sectors. Industry observers note this could ease reliance on foreign sources for key battery components.
