Scottsdale, Arizona, Oct 14, 2025 - Applied Atomics and USA BioEnergy are excited to announce a strategic partnership that will accelerate industrial manufacturing and e-fuel production at the Bon Wier Industrial Park.

This partnership aligns with Texas' pro-growth energy policies and the state's incentives for advanced nuclear innovation. It follows USA BioEnergy's recent announcement of a technology partnership with Johnson Matthey and Honeywell.

The 1,400-acre Industrial Park is poised to become an energy hub, with Applied Atomics' initial construction of a 100-megawatt electric power plant, offering sufficient space for expansion up to 1 gigawatt of electric power.

"We're honored to power this incredible development and to be in a state that understands energy leadership and industrial innovation. Co-locating firm, clean power is how we will unlock the next 1,000 years of advanced industry," said Benjamin Kellie, CEO, Applied Atomics.

"Bringing reliable, low-carbon power onto the site is essential for scaling our vision. Applied Atomics approach strengthens our infrastructure and helps us to create significant quantities of green hydrogen that we will combine with biogenic CO₂ to produce ultra-low-carbon fuels at commercial scale," said Nick Andrews, CEO, USA BioEnergy.

"We refer to the Bon Wier Industrial Park as Innovation Park; we made commitments to create jobs and spur investment in Bon Wier, and we have seen significant interest from data center developers interested in co-locating at the site," said David Prom, Chairman, USA BioEnergy.

"Small advanced nuclear power is among the safest energy sources ever developed, designed with multiple layers of safety to ensure protection of the community and environment," said Ronald J. Cochran, Newton County Judge.
