Celebrating innovation and collaboration that happens throughout our broader team as we all work toward our shared vision: Today, Nel Hydrogen and General Motors announced a joint development agreement focused on enabling more cost-competitive sources of renewable hydrogen.  
 
As GM commercializes hydrogen fuel cells and EV battery technology for industries including automotive, freight trucking, aerospace, power generation and locomotive, Nel’s technology can help advance clean hydrogen infrastructure to improve performance and reduce emissions.

It takes a village to build a secure and sustainable EV supply chain. And GM Ventures’ collaboration with Lithion Recycling Inc. is a prime example of the innovative technology that is necessary for creating a circular battery ecosystem. 
 
Lithion recently hosted a tour of its lithium-ion battery recycling and material recovery facility in Montreal for US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the US Ambassador to Canada, David L. Cohen, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada, the Hon. Mélanie Joly. Our very own Stefon Crawford, Principal at GM Ventures, was proud to join the group.
 
Thanks to Lithion for welcoming us and congratulations on the well-deserved recognition of the team’s important role in helping accelerate progress in sustainable energy.
