Electric vehicle maker Nikola Corp said on Monday it was working with KeyState Natural Gas Synthesis to create Pennsylvania state’s first low-carbon hydrogen production supply chain.<\/p>\n
However, Nikola said it was working on a definitive agreement with the hydrogen producer to expand supply for Nikola’s fuel-cell electric vehicles.<\/p>\n
The over 7,000-acre KeyState site is expected to be operational in 2026 and will also supply ammonia and urea for industrial and transportation markets.<\/p>\n
Nikola is also building a hydrogen fuel cell electric semi-truck with a range of up to 500 miles and a refuel time of under 20 minutes that would enable it to carry freight over longer distances.<\/p>\n
The truck maker added that KeyState plans to supply the company with up to 100 tonnes per day of low-carbon hydrogen, which can supply fuel for up to 2,500 Nikola Tre FCEVs (fuel-cell electric vehicles).<\/p>\n
That quantity of hydrogen could displace over 51 million gallons of diesel fuel per year consumed, Nikola said.<\/p>\n
The low-carbon hydrogen will help Nikola maximize value under the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act. Companies that produce hydrogen will also receive up to $3 per kilogram of the fuel for the first five years.<\/p>\n
Nikola said earlier in October that the IRA would help reduce costs across its energy and electric truck businesses.<\/p>\n
