Description

The DOW chemical company (DOW) will capture 50% to 90% byproduct carbon dioxide (CO2) in [[freeport, texas]], from purified ethylene oxide (PEO) to produce high purity electrolyte solvents required for domestic electric vehicle (EV) lithium-ION battery (LIB) manufacturing. Securing a domestic supply of these electrolyte solvents is critical to national security with current production being largely limited to asia. The project invests in supply chain resiliency for domestic battery and EV manufacturing and will demonstrate the technoeconomic viability of manufacturing electrolyte solvents at a large-scale commercial production facility. Additionally, DOW will unlock american workforce capability through extensive workforce development, meaningful community engagement, decarbonization education, and direct job creation with a focus on providing equitable access for local residents of underrepresented communities. This project also aims to improve clean water supply for communities in this water-stressed basin.
