Plug Power (PLUG) Clinches PEM Electrolyzer Deal in Europe
Read MoreHide Full Article
Plug Power, Inc. (PLUG - Free Report) recently clinched a deal for 25 megawatts (MW) of proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer systems from a customer in Europe. PLUG will leverage its solid expertise in the green hydrogen industry to offer its advanced PEM electrolyzer technology for carbon reduction targets.
Plug Power’s electrolyzers utilize PEM stack technology in a modular design, which offers a small footprint with potential for capacity expansion. The electrolyzer’s hydrogen output is capable of adjusting instantly based on the electrical input, which makes it ideal for pairing with intermittent renewable resources.
The abovementioned deal will involve Plug Power to supply five of its 5 MW containerized PEM electrolyzers that will help lower the customer’s carbon footprint. The project, which will be developed in phases, will have the potential to expand up to two GW of electrolyzer capacity.
The company’s strong expertise in providing and installing PEM electrolyzer systems globally is underlined by its successful PEM electrolyzer deployment at the U.S. largest electrolytic liquid hydrogen production plant in Georgia. Also, it has a significant presence in Rochester, NY, with its Gigafactory being one of the biggest PEM manufacturing facilities in the country.
