US integrated solutions company Enveniam has signed an agreement with LIS Technologies (LIST), the only US-origin and patented laser uranium enrichment company. Enveniam will serve as the Lead Project Integrator for the design, development, and construction of LIST’s laser-based uranium enrichment facility.
As Lead Project Integrator, Enveniam, a Bernhard Capital Partners portfolio company, will support all activities related to project execution. Enveniam, founded in 2022, combines the capabilities of Boston Government Services (BGS), Strategic Management Solutions Incorporated (SMSI), and Sterling Engineering and Consulting (SE&C) to advance solutions for critical energy missions.
“This is a great opportunity not only for Enveniam and LIST, but also for the nuclear industry and the nation,” said Doug Freund, President & CEO of BGS and Executive Officer of Enveniam. “This project is another important element in the effort to recapture America’s nuclear energy leadership and establish our energy independence.”
Dr Lou Qualls, Senior Vice President of Nuclear Solutions for BGS, who was instrumental in securing the partnership, said, “This agreement is the culmination of years of vision and collaboration. By uniting our areas of expertise, we’re building a facility that will shape the future of nuclear energy.”
Christo Liebenberg, President, Co-Founder & Chief Technical Advisor of LIST, noted: “Our technology is poised to dramatically improve enrichment efficiency and add significantly to the domestic supply of uranium for the growing reactor market. We look forward to many years of working with Enveniam to help make our dream a reality.”
In December 2024, the US Department of Energy DOE selected LIST as one of six domestic companies to participate in its Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU) Enrichment Acquisition Program. This allocates up to $3.4bn overall, with contracts lasting up to 10 years. Each awardee is slated to receive a minimum contract of $2m.
“Our engineering and technical teams have grown rapidly, with some members being leaders in laser-based technologies globally and subject matter experts in regulatory licensing, facility and IP securities, UF6 systems and isotopes,” said Jay Yu, Executive Chairman & CEO of LIST “We are excited about bringing to life the only US-origin and patented technology for laser uranium enrichment. This innovation aims to unleash American Energy by providing the enrichment capabilities needed in our country.”
