In New York, Plug Power said it has secured an order for 25 megawatts (MW) of proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer systems for a customer in Europe. The project will employ five of Plug’s 5 MW containerized PEM electrolyzers, to reduce the carbon footprint of the company by using green hydrogen. “The selection of Plug’s technology for this project serves as a clear example of our established industry expertise and proven technology,” stated Plug CEO Andy Marsh. “Industry experts have highlighted the immense market potential for green hydrogen in Europe as being a key factor for reaching European Union decarbonization targets. This presents a significant opportunity for Plug, and we have the market knowledge and technology readily available to make a substantial impact.” Plug noted that this deal marks the beginning of a long-term partnership and is the first step in decarbonizing the customer’s operations. The project will be developed in phases, with potential plans to expand the electrolyzer capacity.
