Norwegian firm to invest in hydrogen plant in Michigan

In Michigan, Fox 17 reported that Michigan state Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced that a total of 500 jobs will be created in Michigan as a result from a $400 million investment from a Norwegian hydrogen company. Whitmer confirmed that Nel Hydrogen expects to build an automated gigawatt electrolyzer plant in the state. “Earlier this year, I went on an economic mission to Europe to show the world what Michigan has to offer, and as a result of our efforts on the trip, we secured an investment from Nel to continue building on our leadership in cars, chips, and clean energy,” Whitmer said. “As a major player in all three of these sectors, Michigan is serious about leading hydrogen development and winning today’s investment proves that the best manufacturing in the world happens right here in Michigan.” “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,” said Nel Hydrogen CEO Håkon Volldal.
