Why More Facilities Are Investing in On-Site Nitrogen Plants

Across industries, facility managers are rethinking how they source industrial gases—and for good reason. On-site nitrogen generation is becoming the preferred choice over traditional bulk delivery, thanks to its cost savings, operational efficiency, and independence from supply chain volatility. And now, with the recent passage of The One Big Beautiful Bill, investing in on-site nitrogen generation is even more financially attractive.

This new legislation restores full bonus depreciation, allowing businesses to deduct the entire cost of qualifying equipment—like nitrogen generators—in the same year it’s placed into service.

100% Bonus Depreciation Is Back

Signed into law on July 4, 2025, The One Big Beautiful Bill reinstates 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property acquired after January 19, 2025, and placed into service before January 1, 2030. That means companies can now fully expense the cost of capital equipment—including on-site nitrogen generation systems—in the year they’re installed and operational.

This powerful tax incentive enables facilities to accelerate ROI and strengthen their bottom line, especially when paired with the long-term operational savings that nitrogen generation provides.

The Financial Case for On-Site Nitrogen Generation

Even without tax incentives, on-site nitrogen plants offer significant financial and operational advantages:

• Eliminate recurring delivery fees and rental costs associated with bulk nitrogen
• Avoid volatile pricing and third-party supply disruptions
• Reduce nitrogen waste by producing only what you need, when you need it
• Lower your carbon footprint by eliminating nitrogen delivery truck emissions

With 100% bonus depreciation now in effect, these long-term benefits are supported by immediate tax relief—making the financial case for on-site nitrogen generation stronger than ever.
