Plug Power plans to develop three green hydrogen production plants in Finland
In New York, Plug Power, a provider of turnkey hydrogen solutions for the global green hydrogen economy, said it plans to develop three green hydrogen production plants in Finland.
These projects will result in the production of 850 tons per day of green hydrogen, or 2.2 gigawatts (GW) of electrolyzer capacity, by the end of the decade with final investment decision by 2025/2026. Using Plug’s PEM electrolyzer and liquefaction technology, the green hydrogen produced at these sites will support the production of ammonia and green direct reduced iron, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and materially support the decarbonization of Europe, the firm said.
The Kokkola site is expected to generate 85 tons per day of liquid green hydrogen, and up to 700 kt of green ammonia per year, using 1GW of electrolyzers. The liquid green hydrogen will be produced for local use and for export to Western Europe from the Port of Kokkola. Green ammonia will also be exported through the same port.
The Kristinestad site will include a1GW electrolyzer plant which will generate green hydrogen for green steel production.
Meanwhile, the Porvoo site will produce up to 100 tons per day by 2030. The hydrogen will be used for local mobility and exported through pipeline injection to Western Europe.
