Using renewable energy to produce battery materials

The Moses Lake facility will source its electricity from hydropower, a lower carbon energy source. The first phase includes an approximately 600 ton per annum multi train commercial facility to produce silicon anodes. Simultaneously, we'll design and build a 1,200 ton per annum single train commercial facility at the same site.

We'll then work with Sila to bring the plant's total production capacity up to 10,000 tons per annum, which is enough to supply one million electric vehicles over five years.

The facility is set to commence production in 2025.

"Our partnership with Worley supports Sila in leading the charge in US manufacturing by designing a world-class production facility in Moses Lake. This factory will allow Sila to meet the volume and quality requirements of our auto customers," adds Chris Dougher, Vice President, Operations at Sila.

"We're pleased to support Sila Nanotechnologies to deliver this next generation project. Using our delivery capabilities and extensive battery materials experience, we're taking this emerging technology from the lab to commercial scale," says Tom Foster, President, US Operations.
