Aspen Aerogels, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASPN#NYSE">ASPN</a>) shares are trading higher after the company won a conditional commitment for a proposed DOE <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41355398/aspen-aerogels-inc-receives-conditional-commitment-for-proposed-doe-loan-and-provides-q3-2024-prel" rel="noreferrer noopener">loan worth up to $670.6 million</a>.
This loan, part of the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing program, will finance the construction of Aspen&#8217;s second aerogel manufacturing facility in Register, Georgia.
Although the conditional commitment signifies the DOE&#8217;s intent to finance the project, both the DOE and Aspen Aerogels must meet specific technical, legal, environmental, and financial conditions before finalizing the loan agreement and disbursing funds.
The Register Plant will manufacture PyroThin aerogel blankets, ultrathin thermal barriers designed to prevent thermal runaway in batteries.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The plant is projected to generate $1.2 billion to $1.6 billion in initial revenue and create up to 550 construction jobs and 255 permanent positions.
Donald R. Young, Aspen&#8217;s President and CEO, said, &#8220;We believe that PyroThin, which can enable increased battery safety and performance, is a unique and differentiated product that solves an important and challenging problem.&#8221;
&#8221;We are also excited to further DOE&#8217;s mission to onshore and re-shore domestic manufacturing technologies that are critical to meeting the current federal goal of having half of all new vehicles sold in 2030 be zero-emissions vehicles.&#8221;
Outlook: Additionally, the company announced preliminary results for the third quarter of 2024.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
