Plug Power Inc. broke ground on the site of a green hydrogen production plant in Camden County, Ga., where 15 t of liquid green hydrogen will be produced per day. The plant, which will serve customers in the southeastern U.S., will produce liquid green hydrogen using 100% renewable energy with the help of at least 24 full-time, local employees.

Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug Power, said the location of the plant is a part of the company’s larger strategic plan to offer green hydrogen that is cost-competitive with fossil fuel energy to its customers looking to meet their sustainability goals.

“Green hydrogen is the environmentally conscious solution companies need and want,” Marsh said. “Plug Power’s investment in this facility is an investment in Georgia — and an investment in our customers and the future world we want to live in.”

The Camden County plant joins previously announced green hydrogen facilities in South Central Pennsylvania and the Western New York Science, Technology and Advanced Manufacturing Park (STAMP), all of which contribute toward Plug Power’s goal of producing more than 500 t per day of green hydrogen by 2025. 

The Georgia gas production plant is expected to be completed by the end of this year.
