Plug Power has installed Africa's first fully integrated green hydrogen facility in Namibia, featuring a 5MW electrolyzer, solar power, and energy storage, supporting hydrogen mobility and industrial decarbonization, and positioning Namibia as a regional hydrogen hub.
Plug Power and Allied Green have expanded their partnership with a new 2 GW electrolyzer deal in Uzbekistan, supporting a $5.5 billion green chemical plant producing sustainable fuels, which builds on their existing 3 GW commitment in Australia, totaling a 5 GW global partnership aimed at decarbonization.
Plug Power has commenced operations at the largest liquid green hydrogen plant in the U.S., showcasing its vertically integrated hydrogen ecosystem and the largest PEM electrolyzer deployment in the country. Located in Woodbine, Georgia, the plant is designed to produce 15 tons per day of liquid electrolytic hydrogen, catering to customer demand for sustainable fuel in industries such as transportation, manufacturing, power generation, and aviation. This achievement marks a significant milestone for Plug Power and the hydrogen ecosystem, demonstrating its commitment to decarbonizing operations and supporting customer demand.
Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a novel catalyst that can convert captured carbon into acetic acid, a key industrial chemical used in the manufacture of paints, coatings, and adhesives. The process uses an electrolyzer to convert captured CO2 into carbon monoxide, which is then transformed into various molecules containing two or more carbon atoms. The new catalyst has a faradic efficiency of 91%, the highest for any multi-carbon product at a scalable current density, and is relatively stable, making it a promising alternative to traditional methods that rely on fossil fuels.
