Department of War announces $250M conditional loan for 6K battery materials plant in Jackson, TN
The Department of War’s Office of Strategic Capital (OSC) announced a $250 million conditional loan commitment with 6K, Inc., to scale the company’s domestic production of Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt (NMC) cathode active material (CAM) in Jackson, TN.
6K is a leading advanced materials company focused on critical energy and aerospace technologies. OSC’s investment, which would catalyze an additional $250 million in private capital, is intended to expand 6K’s domestic manufacturing, which would help secure American advanced battery supply chains.
OSC’s conditional loan commitment to 6K directly advances President Donald J. Trump’s national security priorities to revitalize the American defense industrial base, counter malign foreign trade practices, and ensure critical technologies are made domestically. In accordance with President Trump’s Executive Order 14154, Unleashing American Energy, this commitment delivers on the President’s direction to onshore critical battery materials to strengthen American national security.
6K specializes in using its proprietary UniMelt microwave plasma technology to synthesize finished, single-crystal NMC cathode powders in a single step. This novel direct-to-CAM approach fundamentally disrupts legacy multi-day chemical processes by bypassing the foreign-dominated precursor (pCAM) processing stage entirely, reducing production cycle times by up to tenfold, and driving down capital intensity and environmental impact.
The company’s U.S. manufacturing operations at its PlusCAM facility in Jackson, Tennessee would help onshore production of these essential battery components, which are vital for next-gen defense platforms, uncrewed aerial systems (UAS), tactical communications, and critical energy infrastructure.
Located in Airport Industrial Park on James Lawrence Road in Madison County, 6K Energy originally announced in April 2023, the project for the cathode – negatively charged electrode by which electrons enter an electrical device – materials production division of 6K Incorporated.
It would have created 230 new jobs, and the battery material manufacturing plant was initially investing $200 million in the 120,000-square-foot facility for construction and equipment – a number that was expected to expand to $250 million.
6K Energy’s PlusCAM factory was scheduled to be the world’s first UniMelt plasma cathode plant, providing low cost, ultra sustainable production of battery material for localized supply chains in the United States.
6K Energy – the world’s only sustainable production for battery materials – also has a production site in Pennsylvania.
Technology for 6K Energy was developed at the Massachusetts Institute for Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
