Plug Power Inc., a global leader in comprehensive H₂ solutions for the green H₂ economy, is collaborating with Carreras Grupo Logístico to launch a complete green H₂ ecosystem in Spain. The initiative will aim to establish, through a fuel cell technology advantages validation project, the first H₂-powered logistics site in Spain at Carreras Grupo Logístico's logistics center in Masquefa, Barcelona.

Plug is working with Carreras to replace existing lead-acid battery-powered forklifts with H₂ fuel cells to support decarbonization and efficiency improvements of Carreras Grupo Logístico’s operations. The transition to green H₂ will improve energy efficiency, productivity, and sustainability while reducing operational costs.

The project at Masquefa will serve as a testing site to evaluate the improvements using Plug’s technology over batteries. Insights gained from the project will be used to scale the H₂ fuel cell technology across other sites in Spain and integrate it into Carreras Group’s core logistics business that includes 46 warehouses.

If the project is successful, Plug will deliver to Carreras Grupo Logístico a complete green H₂ ecosystem, including H₂ fuel cells, a 1 MW (megawatt) electrolyzer, and a H₂ refueling station.

“We are excited to work with Carreras Grupo Logístico to usher in a landmark moment: the first H₂-powered logistics site in Spain,” noted Plug CEO Andy Marsh. “This strategic collaboration highlights the transformative potential of H₂-powered solutions to achieve the twin goals of decarbonization and operational gains in the logistics sector.”
