About this award
The Department of Energy awarded a $20,000,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chain Demonstrations and Commercial Applications program (CFDA 81.253) to Sparkz Inc. to establish the first domestic production of battery-grade iron (III) phosphate (FePO4) at commercial scale in West Virginia. This critical precursor material is essential for the production of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode active material, which supports the growth of the U.S. lithium-ion battery supply chain. The project aims to reduce foreign dependency on these critical materials and facilitate the transition to a decarbonized energy system by January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025.
Description
Bipartisan infrastructure law (BIL) first domestic battery-grade iron phosphate production plant in coal country the objective of this project is to establish a domestic production of battery-grade iron (III) phosphate (FEPO4) at production scale in west virginia within coal country. This project will greatly support the united states domestic lithium-ION battery supply chain. FEPO4 is a critical precursor material in the production of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode active material (cam).
