The U.S. Department of Energy awarded a $26,161,891 Cooperative Agreement to Cleanfiber Inc. (doing business as Procell Insulation) under the Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chain Demonstrations and Commercial Applications program (CFDA 81.253). The objective of this project is to establish a 67,500 square foot production facility in Chehalis, Washington to manufacture an advanced form of cellulose insulation from recycled cardboard. This carbon-storing insulation is intended for residential retrofit and new construction applications. The facility will provide regional access to this domestically sourced, low-carbon building material, address gaps in the cellulose insulation supply chain, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the adoption of this carbon-negative insulation system. The award was granted on January 1, 2025 with a targeted completion date of July 1, 2025.
