據世界天然氣8月5日消息稱，美國能源公司新堡壘能源公司（NFE）已與同行氫公司Plug Power簽署協議，在得克薩斯州博蒙特附近建造一座120兆瓦的工業規模綠色氫工廠。

8月4日，新堡壘能源公司宣布與Plug Power達成一項協議，Plug Power是一家氫解決方案的交鑰匙供應商，有望成為北美最大的綠色氫工廠之一。

該設施將利用Plug公司的質子交換膜（PEM）電解技術，使每天的綠色氫產量超過50噸。隨著附加配套基礎設施的發展，該設施將可擴展到近500兆瓦。

綠色氫氣項目地點位于得克薩斯州杰斐遜縣內奇斯河岸邊，具有戰略意義。這使得它靠近工業終端用戶，并獲得可靠的電力和物流，包括鐵路、海運和橫跨美國墨西哥灣地區的現有管道。

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.”
