Uniper selects Power Plug to Design the 100MW electrolyzer package for its Dutch plant

In Germany, Uniper said it has selected Plug Power to design the electrolyzer technology for the former’s Maasvlakte site at the Port of Rotterdam. At the Maasvlakte Energy Hub, Uniper plans to commission 100 MW of Plug electrolysis capacity to produce green hydrogen by 2026, rapidly expanding that capacity to 500 MW by 2030 at the latest. “Uniper has embarked on the journey to drastically reduce its emissions,” said Allard Castelein, CEO Port of Rotterdam. “We are very pleased with the steps Uniper is taking. As a port authority we support, stimulate and help companies in Rotterdam to reach the Paris climate treaty goals in multiple ways, including getting infrastructure like a hydrogen pipeline network in place in time. Projects like Uniper’s help reach climate goals but also contribute to a sound future for companies.” Under the agreement, Plug Power will deliver 10 prefabricated PEM (proton exchange membrane) electrolyzer arrays for Uniper’s project H2Maasvlakte. “The H2Maasvlakte project marks a significant milestone for Europe’s transition to more sustainable, localized energy in response to geopolitical risk and climate change,” said Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug.“Plug is fully committed to a green hydrogen future and our electrolyzer technology has a proven track record of helping customers produce green hydrogen at scale.
