Topsoe, a Danish energy company, is set to invest $400 million in constructing an electrolyzer facility in Chesterfield, Virginia, to produce green hydrogen using renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. This investment falls in line with the National Institute of Standards and Technology Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) National Network's Supply Chain Optimization and Intelligence Network (SCOIN) goals aimed at enhancing manufacturing supply chains and promoting regional ecosystem development. The collaboration between Topsoe and the U.S. government illustrates a successful partnership encouraging European investments in U.S. manufacturing, backed by the MEP National Network's support in connecting with appropriate stakeholders. By engaging with 35 prospective suppliers from 14 states for manufacturing solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC), Topsoe and the MEP National Network emphasize the importance of bridging supply chain gaps and fostering domestic capabilities. Through site visits and RFQ stages, the process ensures a thorough vetting and selection of suppliers, showcasing the impact of such initiatives in driving economic growth and innovation in the U.S. manufacturing sector.
