The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Nikola Corporation to develop a novel proton exchange membrane (PEM). Nikola Corporation would perform iterative experiments, adjusting relevant variables (e.g. chemical composition), in order to identify optimal performance parameters. The project would be completed over three budget periods (BPs), with a Go/No-Go Decision Point in between each BP.
