Plug Power has completed the first fill of a Plug tanker with liquid green H₂ produced at its Woodbine, Georgia production plant, heading straight off to customer sites. The achievement comes one week following the official commencement of operations at the plant. A Plug cryogenic trailer has been filled with liquid H₂ for use at Walmart, Amazon and Home Depot sites. This is enough liquid H₂ to fuel 3,216 forklifts a day.

Plug’s Georgia plant currently operates eight 5-megawatt (MW) electrolyzers, the largest proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer deployment in the U.S. The plant can produce up to 15 tpd of liquid green H₂ and serves customers in the eastern U.S. From production to fill, the process was completed in about four days, and now-on, the trailers will deliver the green H₂ to customers through Plug’s extensive logistics network.

“The first delivery of our green H₂ molecule marks a critical milestone for the green H₂ economy,” said Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug. “If you want to see the H₂ ecosystem of the future, it’s at Plug today. There’s no doubt that Plug is demonstrating the future with real products and projects at scale.”

“We took a big step today to make cost-effective green H₂ available to our pedestal customers. This validates our investment in building out a production plant network – a bet on our customers’ desire for more sustainable solutions,” said Sanjay Shrestha, Plug’s General Manager, Energy Solutions and Chief Strategy Officer.
