Read MoreHide Full Article
Plug Power, Inc.’s (PLUG - Free Report) strong expertise in providing and installing electrolyzers is underlined by its deployment of more than 95 megawatts (MW) of proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer systems till date. Notably, these electrolyzer systems are in operation or commissioning phase across several sites in the world.
Plug Power’s PEM electrolyzer systems, which range from 1 MW to 40 MW in capacity, have been successfully installed and commissioned across various sites in North America, Europe, Asia and Africa. The company’s electrolyzers utilize PEM stack technology in a modular design, which offers a small footprint with potential for capacity expansion. Collectively, these electrolyzers have generated more than 1,500 metric tons of hydrogen to date.
PLUG’s electrolyzer systems installed at these sites will help in producing hydrogen that will support various initiatives. These include creating a green hydrogen refueling network, energizing green hydrogen charging stations for fleet vehicles and supporting hydrogen fuel cell-powered forklifts and light commercial vehicles.
As noted, Plug Power is on track to deliver and commission 37 additional units, which are likely to expand hydrogen production capacity by 40 metric tons per day in the second half of 2024. The company expects its electrolyzer systems to generate 93 metric tons of hydrogen per day globally as more systems are commissioned and become operational.
