Nebraska Made | Monolith

Monolith is Nebraska-made.

While there’s something to be said for American-made, at Monolith we’re creating Nebraska-made.  From here in Nebraska, we’re producing low-emission carbon black for tires across North America.  Soon, we’ll be providing Nebraska farmers with locally made, low-cost fertilizer to reduce our reliance on foreign imports. And that’s just the beginning.

We’re investing hundreds of millions in our multiple Nebraska facilities, with a major expansion planned in Hallam.  We’re employing and hiring hundreds of Nebraskans in high-paying, advanced manufacturing jobs that support Nebraska families and communities.

Monolith’s cutting-edge technology uses the pyrolysis process to create clean hydrogen and carbon black.

The hydrogen created by this process at OC1 and OC2 will be used to create sustainably made ammonia, a critical fertilizer for agriculture.

The clean carbon black, which traditionally is produced in a carbon-intense manner, is used to create everyday products like rubbers and plastics and makes up 1/3 of every vehicle tire on the road.

  • Monolith’s carbon black was used to manufacture hundreds of thousands of tires in North America throughout 2024.  

  • Monolith relocated and expanded both its Nebraska-based global headquarters and primary warehouse and distribution spaces.  

  • Showing confidence in Monolith’s future, our current investor group provided another $100 million in funding for the company.

The Symbol of American Innovation and Leadership

Monolith’s Olive Creek expansion project (OC2) north of Hallam, NE, will not only enable a 12X increase of its current production capability, it will create over 900 direct and indirect Nebraska jobs while securing our supply chain and standing as a testament to American innovation and manufacturing leadership. At full production capacity, this multi-billion-dollar facility will become one of America’s largest carbon black and hydrogen manufacturing facilities – right here in Nebraska. 

Look for our expansion announcement coming in 2025! 

2023 was a great year for operations in Nebraska, and we’re just getting started with more expansion and opportunities for the state.
