What’s claimed as the largest deal sealed globally so far to tap onshore wind for green H2 production has been signed by US hydrogen specialist Plug Power.

Plug Power – a New York-based fuel cell technology firm – agreed to buy power from 345MW of wind turbines owned by renewables operator Apex Clean Energy.

Plug Power said the green energy will be used to power a hydrogen production plant that will be “the first and largest wind-supplied hydrogen project in the United States and the largest onshore wind-powered project across the globe”.
