What To Know: Plug said it secured an order for 100 megawatts (MW) of proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers for a green hydrogen project in Europe. The electrolyzers will be powered by 100% renewable energy and generate approximately 43 tons of green hydrogen per day.
The Plug electrolyzers will be delivered and installed in 2024. They are expected to eliminate approximately 516 tons of carbon dioxide each day.
“We are demonstrating how green hydrogen can be generated at scale to decarbonize hard-to-abate industries while also helping companies to achieve aggressive carbon reduction goals,” said Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug.
