Plug secures 100 mw electrolyzer deal for green hydrogen project in Europe.
Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG), a global leader in comprehensive hydrogen solutions for the green hydrogen economy, secured an order for 100 megawatts (MW) of proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers. This is the largest announced project in the oil and gas sector in Europe.
The Plug electrolyzers will be powered by 100% renewable energy and will generate approximately 43 tons of green hydrogen per day to replace gray hydrogen in the oil refining process. This will eliminate approximately 516 tons per day of CO2 (carbon dioxide).

Plug is playing a leading role in advancing green hydrogen projects in Europe through the deployment of our industry-leading PEM technology.
“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.”
Plug provided engineering support for a Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) study leading to the successful decision to move the project to execution phase. The electrolyzers will be delivered and installed in 2024.
Plug’s electrolyzers use PEM stack technology in a modular design that offers a small footprint with potential for capacity expansion. The electrolyzer’s hydrogen output instantaneously adjusts based on electrical input, which is especially important when paired with intermittent renewable resources.
The PEM stacks for the system will be manufactured at Plug’s 155,000 square foot gigafactory in Rochester, New York. The gigafactory currently has a capacity of 100 MWs per month of electrolyzer stacks.
