Topsoe is planning a state-of the art factory in Chesterfield, Virginia, that will manufacture Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cell stacks (SOEC), the key element to the world's most efficient electrolyzer technology. The cells will be used to produce clean hydrogen, which is essential for the US and global energy transition. The factory is expected to create at least 150 direct jobs in Virginia and more than 1,000 indirect jobs through the value chain.
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.
