backKing & Spalding advised Nikola Corporation, a global leader in zero-emissions transportation and energy supply and infrastructure solutions, on the sale of Nikola’s Phoenix Hydrogen Hub (PHH) project to Fortescue Future Industries (FFI), a global green energy and metals company committed to leading the world in stepping beyond fossil fuels by developing green electrons, green hydrogen and green technology at scale. FFI will bring the capital and resources required to fully develop the project and the parties are working towards a hydrogen supply agreement to support Nikola’s Class 8 zero-emission trucks.
The sale of the PHH project to FFI is fully aligned with Nikola’s capital efficient energy strategy to collaborate with partners interested in the hydrogen energy ecosystem that Nikola is pioneering.
The PHH is a fast-to-market, green hydrogen project located near Phoenix, in the city of Buckeye, Arizona, and is expected to be built in phases to scale alongside demand. The project is expected to progress towards its first hydrogen production by the middle of this decade.
