Where is Reno's 'Gigafactory' building a lithium-sulfur battery facility?

The battery facility will be built on a 125-acre campus at Reno AirLogistics Park in Stead. A Silicon Valley startup is building its own “gigafactory” — the world’s first large-scale lithium-sulfur battery facility — in the Biggest Little City.

Will Lyten build a lithium-sulfur battery factory in Reno?

San Jose-based Lyten announced on Tuesday that it will invest more than $1 billion on a 1.25 million-square-foot lithium-sulfur battery factory in Reno. The project will be built on a 125-acre campus at Reno AirLogistics Park in Stead.

SAN JOSE, Calif. & RENO, Nev.-- (BUSINESS WIRE)--Lyten, the supermaterial applications company and global leader in Lithium-Sulfur batteries, today announced plans to invest more than $1 billion to build the world’s first Lithium-Sulfur battery gigafactory.

When will Lyten's lithium-sulfur batteries come online?

The company expects it to come online in 2027. Lyten’s purchase of Northvolt’s Cuberg assets give it the equipment and space to produce up to 200 megawatt-hours of lithium-sulfur batteries in the Bay Area. That should give the company some revenue while it prepares its larger factory in Nevada.

Where is Lyten battery made?

Lyten’s factory will manufacture cathode active materials (CAM) and lithium metal anodes and complete assembly of lithium-sulfur battery cells in both cylindrical and pouch formats. Lyten has been manufacturing CAM and lithium metal anodes and assembling batteries at its semi-automated pilot facility in San Jose, Calif., since May 2023.

Is Nevada a good place to invest in lithium ion batteries?

“With our robust infrastructure and skilled workforce, Nevada is well-positioned for continued growth and job creation well into the future.” Lyten’s Lithium-Sulfur cells feature high energy density, which will enable up to 40% lighter weight than lithium-ion and 60% lighter weight than lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries.
