Nel plans to cooperate with GM on technology development
Nel chooses Michigan for electrolyser gigafactory
Planned collaboration with General Motors a key factor in decision to site 4GW PEM electrolyser factory in state
Norwegian electrolyser manufacturer Nel has announced it will build a 4GW factory in Michigan, amid strong incentives from the US for equipment manufacturing and hydrogen project development. The factory will manufacture both proton-exchange-membrane (PEM) and alkaline electrolysers. While FID has not yet been taken, Nel is expected to invest up to $400mn in the project and employ up to 500 workers at the factory at full scale. “The choice of Michigan is based on an overall assessment of what the state can offer in terms of financial incentives, access to a highly skilled workforce and cooperation with universities, research institutions, and strategic partners,” says Nel CEO Hakon Volldal,
