Applying what we have learned in the Pharma, BSL, and Semiconductor Industries, and incorporating Dry Room design experience from industry, gives us a strong base of knowledge to deliver a cost effective facility for Lithium Ion Battery manufacturing. In 2009 the Department of Energy provided over dollar2 billion in grants and dollar25 billion in funding for low interest loan guarantees for the proliferation of the manufacture of alternate energy vehicles. The lion's share of that funding went to automobile manufacturers and suppliers to that industry for the process development and construction of facilities for the manufacture of battery packs for battery operated vehicles. This should not be confused with Hybrid Vehicles, which utilize a combination of battery and internal combustion dry trains. The Nissan "Leaf" and Chevy "Volt," to name just two, will be 100percent battery operated.
