ABOUT EVELUTION ENERGY
EVelution Energy LLC is developing the first solar-powered commercial-scale processing facility to supply some of the critical minerals that the U.S. electric vehicle, aerospace and defense industries need today. Our solar powered cobalt sulfate and cobalt metal processing plant will be built in a rural economically-disadvantaged “qualified opportunity zone,” in Yuma County, Arizona. The Opportunity Zone Program was established by the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and provides major tax incentives for investors in U.S. companies, like EVelution Energy, that invest in these economically distressed communities.
Our leadership team of experienced international infrastructure experts is committed to providing the secure supply chain of responsibly sourced, domestically processed critical minerals that U.S. aerospace, defense and automotive manufacturers need to move forward with confidence.
