has injected strong confidence into its business recovery.
The project is located in Bécomo, Quebec. Plug Power will provide front-end engineering and design (FEED) services for the 275 MW electrolytic cell facility. The project relies on the abundant low-carbon power resources of Quebec Hydroelectric Company to electrolyze water to produce green hydrogen, and then converts hydrogen into ammonia. The end products cover ammonium nitrate required for mining explosives, forming a complete decarbonization industry chain from green electricity to industrial raw materials, with clear decarbonization logic and solid landing path.
Hy2gen made it clear that the project is the core link in its large-scale renewable fuel supply chain. Plug Power, with its core PEM electrolyzer technology, has further entered the North American heavy industry decarbonization track, which shows the weight of the project.
José Luis Crespo, CEO of Prager Energy, said: “The selection of the electrolyzer supplier for the Hy2gen Courant project highlights Prager Energy’s ability to support large-scale hydrogen energy and hydrogen-based derivatives projects. This project reflects the market’s growing demand for mature electrolyzer technology and experienced partners who can support the development of complex, high-volume projects required for industrial decarbonization. Hy2gen’s choice of Prager also recognizes our unique ability to serve such a large-scale project with Prager’s most advanced super factory.”
