EVELUTION ENERGY ENGAGES MIZUHO AS ITS GLOBAL FINANCIAL ADVISOR
EVelution Energy - Cobalt Processing Facility - Arial View 1 - Yuma County Arizona
EVelution Energy recently announced plans to build the first solar-powered, carbon neutral cobalt sulfate production facility in the United States, in Yuma County, Arizona. The facility will produce cobalt sulfate for EV batteries, a material crucial to America’s initiative to electrify the U.S. automotive fleet and transition to a net-zero carbon free economy. EVelution Energy’s facility is expected to produce approximately 33,000 metric tons of EV battery grade cobalt sulfate per year, enough to support the domestic production of approximately 470,000 EVs each year.
“We are very excited to partner with Mizuho. We believe that as our global financial adviser, they are well-suited to assist us in developing the necessary commercial and financial strategic partnerships with automotive OEMs and aerospace & defense players to make our project a resounding success. The development of domestic EV battery material processing facilities in the United States, particularly “green” facilities like ours, is of key importance to and increases the self-sufficiency of the United States in a strategically important and fast-growing industry,” said Navaid Alam, President of EVelution Energy.
Located in a “qualified opportunity zone” in Yuma County, Arizona, EVelution Energy’s “green” cobalt sulfate production facility is expected to combat climate change, boost U.S. manufacturing jobs, and reduce U.S. economic reliance on other countries for EV battery materials, like cobalt sulfate. Currently, there are no commercial scale EV-battery grade cobalt processing facilities in North America. EVelution intends to be the first to produce this critically important material in the United States at a commercial scale.
EVelution Energy expects to commence construction of its processing facility in 2024 and expects the facility to be fully operational by 2026. Its solar-powered plant will not only supply all of the facility’s power requirements, but is also expected to deliver clean power to the surrounding agricultural community.
