Plug Power and partners invest in green H₂

The fuel-cell maker Plug Power will build a green hydrogen plant in south-central Pennsylvania with the power provider Brookfield Renewable Partners. Plug says the electrolysis plant will produce 15 metric tons (t) of H₂ per day when it starts up in late 2022, drawing power from the Susquehanna River’s Holtwood Dam. Plug is also planning a 45 t green H₂ plant near Rochester, New York. Separately, Plug will put $200 million into an H₂ infrastructure investment fund that it is forming with the cryogenic equipment company Chart Industries and the oil-field services firm Baker Hughes, each of which is contributing $60 million.
