Plug Power delivers 44.5 tonnes of green hydrogen to German storage pilot

Plug sourced the hydrogen from Hy2Gen’s Atlantis electrolyser plant in Werlte, where it has exclusive access to 100% of the output.

It used its own high-pressure hydrogen trailers and delivery equipment to deliver the fuel to the H2Cast project.

Led by Gasunie and Storag Etzel, the project is converting salt caverns into large-scale hydrogen storage to help balance Germany’s energy grid and industrial demand year-round.

“The success of our recent projects in Germany with H2Cast show that hydrogen works, and that it is scalable for strategic national energy requirements,” said Plug’s incoming CEO Jose Luis Crespo.

The company President added, “Plug’s ability to deliver hydrogen on time, at volume, and with our own transport and delivery equipment for our customers underscores Plug’s leadership in Europe’s fast-growing hydrogen economy.”

Plug will continue to source deliveries from the Atlantis electrolyser project, which was certified in line with EU regulations for renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs) earlier this year.

The US-based green technology firm is building out its hydrogen supply chain across Europe, with a fleet of 36 high-pressure hydrogen trailers and expanding electrolyser access.
