Zinc8 Energy Solutions Inc. announced the support from the U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-NY) for Zinc8 to establish a manufacturing facility in Ulster, NY's former TechCity Site location. the Senator has connected with the CEO of Zinc8 Energy Solutions, Ron MacDonald, to consider the Town of Ulster as a potential site for a manufacturing facility and cement the state of New York's leadership as an emerging global battery manufacturing hub. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, signed into law in 2021, has set aside $6 billion for federal incentives meant to expand capabilities of the U.S.-based battery research and development, bolster domestic battery production, and shore up the American supply chain in an industry often reliant on foreign sources.

The carbon reduction policies and programs of the Biden Administration and the State of New York are instrumental for companies such as Zinc8 to bring leading edge clean energy solutions to full commercialization and the well paying sustainable employment in the new Green economy.
