Nikola and Klean Industries partner to convert
truck fleets and co-develop projects
Nikola Corporation has partnered with Canadian waste-to-energy company
Klean Industries to convert truck fleets to hydrogen fuel cell
electric and to co-develop green energy projects.
Under a freshly inked Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) the companies
have set out to encourage the adoption of Nikola’s Class 8
zero-emissions vehicles with Klean’s partners and feedstock suppliers
while developing green hydrogen supply and dispensing infrastructure
in the US and Canada.
Nikola has said it will evaluate offtake opportunities from green
hydrogen projects being developed by Klean and its partners involving
hydroelectric, wind, and solar power in the Pacific Northwest and
Canada.
Earlier this month (March 10), Klean announced it was finalising
partnerships for a consortium to facilitate green hydrogen projects in
the Pacific Northwest to support refuelling.

The companies also plan to work together to convert Klean’s logistics
partners’ truck fleets to Nikola Class 8 Tre fuel cell electric
vehicles (FCEVs).
Both parties say they see opportunities to collaborate on projects
where Klean and its partners operate recycling, resource recovery and
waste to energy plants, where zero-emissions logistics will act as a
key part of the supply chain.
“This exciting collaboration will create opportunities that will
reinforce the importance of working together as we look to deploy and
develop a renewable hydrogen value chain,” said Jesse Klinkhamer, CEO
of Klean Industries.
“Developing clean energy projects with leading technology companies
such as Nikola supports Klean’s strategic focus and enables our
respective companies to create a symbiosis between waste, resources,
and energy while simultaneously helping in the creation of a circular
low carbon economy,” Klinkhamer added.
Carey Mendes, President Energy at Nikola, said, “the Nikola Tre
hydrogen electric vehicle is poised to revolutionise the trucking
industry and change the way we think about transportation. Klean has
already brought together like-minded partners to decarbonise their
truck fleets, which is a testament to their far-reaching commitment
and deep knowledge of this sustainability space.”
Just today (March 28), Nikola announced Anastasiya Pasterick would
take up the role of Chief Financial Officer as the company looks to
build on the unveiling of its energy brand, HYLA.

A Successful Ecosystem for
Green Hydrogen – London
It is becoming ever clearer that the entire green hydrogen ecosystem
requires alignment. Hydrogen’s potential, performance, and safety are
proven. Green hydrogen is widely accepted as a core pathway to Net
Zero, yet the key levers in the transition are not yet in-sync.
At H2 View we recognise the increasingly challenging economic climate
that various countries/economies are currently facing. We want to help
as many companies as possible in the hydrogen space to achieve their
needs as competitively and logically as possible. As a result, we felt
it was a compelling decision to relocate our previously planned event
in Iceland, to a venue in London.
Join H2 View in London, one of the foremost investment capitals of the
world, for a 1.5-day event devoted to thought leadership, insights,
and actionable takeaways in the green hydrogen ecosystem, combined
with the connections and networking to deliver against those
objectives.
This H2 View hydrogen summit is dedicated to dissecting the ecosystem
requirements to truly realise a green hydrogen-fuelled future across
industries, transport, and society. This event will tackle all sides
of the energy ecosystem, from wind and solar power requirements to
additionality, water sustainability, electrolyser technologies, and
investment and policy climate.
