Construction in progress consists primarily of the early phases of construction of our PHA plant in Bainbridge, Georgia (“Greenfield Facility”) as noted in the table below. We do not have expected in-service dates for our Greenfield Facility, since we have paused major construction. We will need to obtain additional financing to complete our Greenfield Facility. In 2022, the engineering cost estimate ranged from $515 million to $665 million, which does not consider any effect of subsequent inflation, and if we do not obtain financing, our investment could be impaired.
