Nel plans gigafactory in Michigan
Volldal emphasizes that the short distance to General Motors, headquartered in Detroit, has played a decisive role in the choice of state. The two companies collaborate to develop further and improve Nel’s PEM electrolyser technology.
“Having Nel’s new facility close to our home base of HYDROTEC development, in southeastern Michigan, will help us more quickly accelerate our electrolyzer collaboration,” says GM executive director of HYDROTEC Charlie Freese.
“This technology is critical in helping bring down costs, while also creating a more sustainable hydrogen supply,” he says.“This technology is critical in helping bring down costs, while also creating a more sustainable hydrogen supply,” he says.

Toyota Receives Zero Emission CARB Executive Order for HD Fuel Cell Electric Powertrain Kit
The hydrogen-fueled powertrain kit includes hydrogen fuel storage tanks, fuel cell stacks, batteries, electric motors and transmission, and offers a viable alternative to traditional diesel powertrains used in commercial goods transportation as companies look to transition their fleets to zero-emission vehicles.
Toyota's CARB ZEP-certified powertrain kit is now ready for commercialization, with production slated to start for customers later this year at the company's Kentucky manufacturing plant. This newest generation of powertrain reflects key learnings and improvements in things like energy efficiency, package size, and more from extensive real-world testing and development from the company's fuel cell development engineering team.

Nebraska: Hydrogen hub funding, design-build authorization advanced
Lawmakers passed a measure last year creating a work group with the purpose of drafting a proposal seeking Nebraska’s designation as one of the six to 10 regional hubs, which are intended to accelerate the use of hydrogen as a clean energy source.
Brainard Sen. Bruce Bostelman, sponsor of LB565, said the work group partnered with Iowa and Missouri to submit an initial application for the program, called H2Hubs. Of 79 applications submitted, he said, Nebraska’s was one of 33 selected for the next stage of the process.
