receives award from the U.S. Department of Energy within the program to support clean energy manufacturing
Summary
In the programs second round, Permascand submitted a project related to a new manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas for high performance electrodes from both new and recycled materials. Being recognized in this competitive funding program is a testament to our strong technology development. This proposed project leverages Permascands experience in advanced technologies and machinery and will employ a highly skilled workforce to support DOEs initiative in lowering the levelized cost of hydrogen.The Permascand proposal was one of 140 projects selected by the DOE in the second round out of over 800 concept papers submitted in summer of 2024.The \xa7 48C tax credit aims to strengthen U.S. industrial competitiveness and clean energy supply chains as the nation transitions to a net-zero economy with the creation of high-quality jobs, a reduction in industrial emissions, and an increase in domestic production of critical clean energy products and materials. Decarbonization using clean hydrogen is a priority area for this tax credit, and it can be applied to manufacturing of electrolyzers, fuel cells, and associated components (including gas diffusion layers, bipolar plates, and power electronics).About Permascand Permascand is an independent technology-driven manufacturer of electrochemical solutions based on proprietary catalytic coatings for clean tech applications. For more than 50 years, the company has supplied electrodes, electrochemical cells and aftermarket services to a variety of sectors including water treatment, industrial solutions, electrification and renewables and hydrogen.
