NFE, Plug Power Partner to Build 120 MW Green Hydrogen Plant on Gulf Coast
New Fortress Energy Inc. has entered an agreement with Plug Power Inc. (Plug), a leading provider of turnkey hydrogen solutions for the global green hydrogen economy, to build a 120-megawatt (MW) industrial-scale green hydrogen plant near Beaumont, Texas.
Expected to be one of the largest of its kind in North America, the facility will leverage Plug’s industry-leading proton exchange membrane electrolysis technology and enable the production of more than 50 tons per day of green hydrogen. With the development of additional supporting infrastructure, the facility will be scalable to nearly 500 megawatts.
“We are pleased to enter into this agreement that marks the beginning of our collaboration with Plug, a leader in electrolysis technology that shares our vision for the role of hydrogen in accelerating a clean and secure energy transition around the world,” Wes Edens, chairman and CEO of New Fortress Energy, said. “Amid an increasingly favorable U.S. policy environment for hydrogen, we are focused on scalable solutions that have a real impact on decarbonization and believe we are uniquely positioned to be an early mover in this vast and rapidly evolving market.”
The green hydrogen project site is strategically located on the banks of the Neches River in Jefferson County, Texas, affording proximity to industrial end-users as well as access to reliable power and superior logistics including rail, marine and existing pipelines that span the U.S. Gulf Coast region. The Port of Beaumont and broader Sabine-Neches Navigation District are home to an array of large-scale industrial facilities in the refining, petrochemical and other sectors that utilize hydrogen for desulfurization and feedstock processing.
