Plug Power has re-started operation of its H₂ plant in Charleston, Tennessee, adding about 10 tpd of liquid H₂ supply back onto the U.S. market. Plug also implemented design improvements to enhance overall plant efficiency.

Plug’s cryogenic trailer fleet will deliver liquid H₂ from the Tennessee plant to Plug’s pedestal customers throughout North America, with a high-density of users clustered throughout the Midwest and along the East Coast. This adds to Plug’s supply of liquid H₂ currently being delivered to customers for use in material handling operations, fuel cell electric vehicle fleets, and stationary power applications.

“With the Tennessee plant coming back online, we have taken another step towards building a vertically integrated H₂ network in North America,” said Andy Marsh, Plug Power CEO. “In addition, we expect to have our joint venture plant in Louisiana to come online in the third quarter of 2024, adding another 15 tpd of liquid H₂ capacity to the market.”

“This liquid H₂ production out of Georgia and Tennessee is expected to bring down the average cost of delivered H₂, positively impacting Plug’s fuel margins in line with our strategy,” said Sanjay Shrestha, General Manager, Energy Solutions & Chief Strategy Officer at Plug.
