Nel has been awarded up to $41 million in investment tax credits for its planned electrolyser manufacturing expansion in Michigan as part of the Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Tax Credit (48C) program. The company has initiated a significant expansion and industrialization of its manufacturing capacity and is preparing for a future site in Plymouth Charter Township, a suburb of Detroit, Michigan. When fully developed, the facility will be among the world's largest electrode facilities, where Nel will manufacture its next-generation pressurized alkaline and PEM technologies.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released applicant self-disclosed information for 22 projects across 17 states that voluntarily shared with DOE that they received a total of nearly $1 billion in allocations from the Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Credit (48C). Nine of the self-disclosed projects indicated they are located in 48C energy communities – communities with closed coal mines or coal plants—showcasing the Biden Administration’s commitment to investing in America’s energy communities.
