据世界天然气8月5日消息称，美国能源公司新堡垒能源公司（NFE）已与同行氢公司Plug Power签署协议，在得克萨斯州博蒙特附近建造一座120兆瓦的工业规模绿色氢工厂。

8月4日，新堡垒能源公司宣布与Plug Power达成一项协议，Plug Power是一家氢解决方案的交钥匙供应商，有望成为北美最大的绿色氢工厂之一。

该设施将利用Plug公司的质子交换膜（PEM）电解技术，使每天的绿色氢产量超过50吨。随着附加配套基础设施的发展，该设施将可扩展到近500兆瓦。

绿色氢气项目地点位于得克萨斯州杰斐逊县内奇斯河岸边，具有战略意义。这使得它靠近工业终端用户，并获得可靠的电力和物流，包括铁路、海运和横跨美国墨西哥湾地区的现有管道。

NFE teams up with Plug Power for green hydrogen plant on Gulf Coast

U.S. energy company New Fortress Energy (NFE) has signed a deal with compatriot hydrogen company Plug Power for a 120-megawatt industrial-scale green hydrogen plant near Beaumont, Texas.

On 4 August, New Fortress Energy announced that it entered an agreement with Plug Power, a provider of turnkey hydrogen solutions, for what is expected to be one of the largest green hydrogen plants in North America.

The facility is to leverage Plug’s proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis technology and enable the production of more than 50 tonnes per day (tpd) of green hydrogen. With the development of additional supporting infrastructure, the facility will be scalable to nearly 500 megawatts.

The green hydrogen project site is strategically located on the banks of the Neches River in Jefferson County, Texas. This gives it proximity to industrial end-users as well as access to reliable power and logistics including rail, marine, and existing pipelines that span the U.S. Gulf Coast region.

The Port of Beaumont and the broader Sabine-Neches Navigation District are home to an array of large-scale industrial facilities in the refining, petrochemical, and other sectors that use hydrogen.

“We are pleased to enter into this agreement that marks the beginning of our collaboration with Plug,(…) that shares our vision for the role of hydrogen in accelerating a clean and secure energy transition around the world,” said Wes Edens, CEO of NFE, said: “Amid an increasingly favorable U.S. policy environment for hydrogen, we are focused on scalable solutions that have a real impact on decarbonization.”
