ABB to supply electrical systems for two green hydrogen projects in Georgia, USA

ABB has been awarded two major contracts by Plug Power Inc to provide the electrical systems for two new hydrogen plants in the USA, set to collectively produce 60 tons of green hydrogen per day. 

The first plant, Project Gateway, in Genesee County, New York, will be North America’s largest green hydrogen production facility, providing the northeastern US daily with 45 metric tons of green liquid hydrogen, which contains as much energy as 126 tons of gasoline and equates to 14,000 tons of CO₂ per year. ABB will provide the full electrical system encased in an ABB eHouse solution and will also supply gas and air-insulated switchgear, low voltage motor control centers, along with low voltage variable speed drives for auxiliary applications. 

With a similar scope of work, Plug Power’s second plant, Peachtree, in Camden County, Georgia, will produce 15 tons of liquid green hydrogen per day using 100 percent renewable energy, serving customers in the southeastern US.
