Turnkey hydrogen solutions provider Plug Power Inc. has been awarded an order to deliver one gigawatt (GW) electrolyzer to hydrogen company H2 Energy Europe for its green hydrogen production complex in Denmark.
Harnessing offshore wind power, Plug’s electrolyzer technology will enable the production of up to 100,000 metric tonnes per year of green hydrogen for use in the energy and transportation sector in northern Europe, supplying the fuel needed for the equivalent of approximately 15,000 heavy-duty vehicles per day. Through its joint venture with Hyundai, H2 Energy will supply fleets of heavy-duty fuel cell trucks. In the early month of 2022, H2 Energy entered a joint venture with Phillips 66 to build more than 250 hydrogen refueling stations in Denmark, Germany and Austria supplied with green hydrogen from H2 Energy.
The deployment of the technology at H2 Energy’s complex is expected in 2024, with the production of green hydrogen in 2025. The hydrogen production complex, announced in September 2021 by the Danish government, will be located near Esbjerg and owned and operated by H2 Energy Europe.
