New Fortress Energy agrees electrolyser deal
Company says Inflation Reduction Act set to makes the environment for investment in green hydrogen favourable
US fuel-cell and electrolyser manufacturer Plug Power will provide a proton-exchange-membrane electrolyser to a green hydrogen plant being developed by infrastructure firm New Fortress Energy near Beaumont, Texas. The facility will produce 50t/d of green hydrogen to meet demand from local industrial firms and will be scaleable to 500MW. The Port of Beaumont and the surrounding region is home to a number of refining and petrochemical firms. “We are thrilled to support New Fortress Energy’s first investment in green hydrogen. This facility is a model that we intend to replicate in other locations across the country,” says Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug Power. New Fortress did not respond to enquiries
