$20 Million Investment to Create 40 High-Skill Jobs and Advance U.S. Clean Energy Supply Chain
Texarkana, TX — September 4, 2025 — EnergyX, a pioneering force in lithium extraction and solid-state battery innovation, has announced the official site for its Project Lonestar™ Lithium Demonstration Plant at TexAmericas Center in Texarkana, Texas. The $20 million investment will establish a 22,000-square-foot facility and create more than 40 highly skilled jobs, marking a major milestone in America’s race to secure domestic lithium supply.
TexAmericas Center, home to one of the nation’s top-ranked industrial parks, spans 12,000 acres and 3.5 million square feet of commercial and industrial space. The site was selected for its multimodal transportation access, skilled labor pool, and competitive operating costs—making it an ideal location for advanced manufacturing and clean energy operations.
“This project represents a new chapter for the Texarkana region,” said Teague Egan, Founder & CEO of EnergyX. “We are turning a former defense property into a hub for America’s clean energy future.”
Project Lonestar™ will feature EnergyX’s proprietary LiTAS® direct lithium extraction technology and SoLiS™ solid-state battery innovations. The facility will serve as a blueprint for how the U.S. can accelerate the clean energy transition while building resilient supply chains for critical minerals.
EnergyX’s expansion supports TexAmericas Center’s transformation into an eco-industrial campus. By repurposing former Department of Defense infrastructure and leveraging existing utilities, the project minimizes environmental impact and promotes sustainable development. EnergyX joins a growing roster of tenants committed to low-impact practices, resource stewardship, and inclusive hiring.
“EnergyX’s vision aligns with our mission to convert historic assets into future-focused industry,” said Scott Norton, Executive Director and CEO of TexAmericas Center. “Together, we’re building a high-performing campus that supports energy security, quality jobs, and long-term growth.”
The company’s workforce strategy includes competitive wages, employee equity participation, and inclusive hiring practices that prioritize veterans, women, and minority-owned businesses.
“Project Lonestar™ is more than a plant—it’s a model for sustainable prosperity,” said Egan. “We’re proud to invest in Texarkana and help lead the next chapter of America’s energy independence.”
