Supported by this DOE grant and approximately $75 million of Cabot investment, the company plans to expand domestic production of advanced conductive additives at its facilities in Franklin, Louisiana, and Pampa, Texas. The planned investments are designed to address rising demand for advanced battery materials driven by the expansion of energy storage systems, increasing power requirements from artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure and data centers, ongoing grid modernization efforts, and broader electrification trends. It will support this growing demand while expanding domestic production of critical conductive additives in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The grant reflects a collaborative effort between Cabot and DOE to redirect funding from the company\u2019s originally announced Michigan project to a two-site brownfield expansion program. By leveraging existing manufacturing assets, Cabot expects to accelerate the development of a local and secure supply of critical conductive additives for the growing domestic battery supply chain while strengthening its ability to serve customers globally. The planned investments are also expected to support high-quality manufacturing and construction jobs and contribute to U.S. leadership in advanced battery materials technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Cabot is well-positioned to capitalize on growing demand for advanced battery materials through its decades of materials expertise, longstanding relationships with many of the world\u2019s leading battery manufacturers, global manufacturing footprint, and broad portfolio of conductive carbons, carbon nanotubes, and carbon nanostructures. Together, these capabilities enable the company to scale production efficiently, support customers with localized supply, and compete across the major battery markets of North America, Europe, and Asia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis investment represents an important step in our strategy to build a differentiated battery materials business that supports some of the most significant growth trends shaping the global economy,\u201d said Sean Keohane, president and chief executive officer of Cabot Corporation. \u201cDemand for advanced batteries continues to expand across energy storage, electrification, and emerging AI-related infrastructure. By leveraging our existing manufacturing assets, we can efficiently expand our battery materials platform, strengthen our position in the North American battery ecosystem, and support our customers\u2019 growth with localized supply.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cabot\u2019s planned investments will support production of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=A6j4_rUftCuhzYkwHpUFOGK0bPxleodI9JGvaQbYgbsumwrrQKp_np80mGca-9quqZrMIPk_Jd8FJ--H7lRJFyCb2fuShC_Iuz3AqdIZUA42IvzHyfwRAWfCw_ZC9oLbx5WEM_Xju6RkcZIB9N8z7_gXEONcQHVY0Pk5BbGI3iQ=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">LITX<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> advanced battery-grade conductive carbons at its Franklin, Louisiana facility and establish the first commercial-scale production of carbon nanostructures (CNS), Cabot\u2019s most advanced conductive additive technology and part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=O50yAHr0TvBQvOqxbl2b-O-5WyvJ8uYVBHxrUUuxts5KjRaJ_wsOb1UF_p8jxvetkZsZTe6kQtatAdVT1Z6OJdrzk0avIIqjvUUMo7DTzL22l1MgGHYQd1BmTyF38QNzfRl-XlFemApN7wyxe4sdWCP5RJW7Npu4dXLsJ_mvAvyNg6qU3UeEDuvhJTORkgzN\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">ENERMAX\u2122<\/a> product family, at its Pampa, Texas facility.
