Plug Power Inc. will build the continent’s biggest green hydrogen plant in New York state, as the company once known for selling forklifts aggressively moves into producing the clean-energy fuel.
Plug plans to spend $290 million building the plant and an electrical substation in the town of Alabama, situated about 35 miles east of Buffalo, the company reported Thursday. The facility will produce 45 metric tons of liquid hydrogen per day, using electrolyzers to strip the hydrogen from water. The electricity will come from hydropower, making the manufacturing process greenhouse gas-free.
