Plug Power Secures 100MW Green Hydrogen Order for Lubmin, Germany
Plug Power Inc. has secured a significant order for 100 megawatts (MW) of proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers, set to be installed in Lubmin, Germany, in 2024. This project, developed by H2Apex and backed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), will generate approximately 43 tons of green hydrogen daily, replacing gray hydrogen in the oil refining process. This move is part of Plug's broader strategy to build an end-to-end green hydrogen ecosystem and eliminate around 516 tons of CO2 per day.
Plug Power, a leader in the green hydrogen sector, has deployed over 60,000 fuel cell systems and established more than 180 fueling stations worldwide. The company's electrolyzers, which will be manufactured at its gigafactory in Rochester, New York, use PEM stack technology in a modular design, offering a small footprint and potential for capacity expansion.
Plug's CEO, Andy Marsh, has expressed the company's commitment to advancing green hydrogen projects in Europe. The company aims to build and operate a green hydrogen highway across North America and Europe, further expanding its global footprint.
With this latest order, Plug Power continues to solidify its position as a key player in the green hydrogen sector. The Lubmin project, along with Plug's broader plans for a green hydrogen highway, underscores the company's dedication to reducing carbon emissions and driving the transition to clean energy.
