Nel Hydrogen US, a subsidiary of Norway’s Nel ASA, has entered into a joint development agreement with General Motors to industrialize Nel’s PEM electrolyzer platform, according to a press release.
The two companies are looking to enable more cost competitive sources of renewable hydrogen, the release states.
“Adding Nel as a strategic collaborator is an important step to help us commercialize fuel cell technology,” Charles Freese, GM executive director, Global HYDROTEC, said in the release. “Nel has some of the most promising electrolyser technology to help develop clean hydrogen infrastructure, and we believe our HYDROTEC fuel cell IP can help them get closer to scale.”
Detroit-based Nel Hydrogen US will be compensating GM for the development work and IP transfer on an ongoing basis and pay a license after successful commercialization dependent on how much of the end product is based on GM technology.
