Sepion Technologies Secures $17.5 Million to Build Advanced Battery Separator Manufacturing Facility
Sepion Technologies, a leader in battery materials innovation, announces plans to build a cutting-edge lithium-ion battery separator manufacturing facility in the Capitol Innovation District, a 1 million square foot advanced biomanufacturing innovation district in the heart of West Sacramento. Backed by a $17.5 million grant from CALSTART and the California Energy Commission’s “PowerForward: ZEV Battery Manufacturing Grant Program,” the facility will address key supply chain gaps and bolster the domestic battery workforce—both of which are crucial for national security and the clean energy transition.
“We are excited to launch this transformative project to address the domestic battery separator supply gap with the support of the CEC and CALSTART,” said Peter Frischmann, CEO and Co-Founder of Sepion. “With this facility, we’re advancing the clean energy transition, creating jobs to solidifying California’s position as a leader in sustainable manufacturing, and showcasing how American battery innovation can scale from lab to factory.”
