"BMW has taken another important step to affirm our global commitment to sustainability with a project such as this in Spartanburg," said Josef Kerscher, president of BMW Manufacturing. "There's a clear vision and determination to reach our goal of using renewable energy as much as possible throughout the plant site."
Linde North America and Plug Power partnered with BMW to bring the technology to the facility.
