The newly commissioned facility will liquify hydrogen manufacture by Olin for trailer shipments across the U.S.
Hidrogenii, the joint venture between Plug Power and Olin Corporation introduced the commissioning of its 15 metric-ton-per-day (TPD) hydrogen liquefaction plant in St. Gabriel, Louisiana.
Among the biggest electrolytic hydrogen liquefaction facilities in North America, the site marks a major milestone in strengthening the regional hydrogen supply chain and expanding the U.S. Transition to low-carbon energy.
The newly commissioned facility will liquify hydrogen produced by Olin for trailer shipments throughout the U.S., serving Plug’s material dealing with clients and utilizing Plug’s novel spot pricing market. The plant is designed to liquefy up to 15 TPD of hydrogen at most capacity, growing Plug’s general manufacturing capability to 40 TPD.
“This Louisiana plant, a milestone in boosting our U.S. Hydrogen community, supports our financial position via leveraging a reliable, cost-effective hydrogen sources, decreasing our reliance on third-party providers,” stated Plug CEO Andy Marsh.
Ken Lane, President and CEO of Olin, brought, “This joint project is consistent with Olin’s value-first approach to construct on our current main positions via excessive-value adjacencies or bolt-ons that align with our capital allocation framework.”
Established in 2022, Hidrogenii was formed by Plug and Olin to construct and perform this today’s liquid hydrogen facility in St. Gabriel, Louisiana. The plant plays a main position in Plug’s broader strategy to scale a national green hydrogen network, becoming a member of present Plug production sites in Woodbine, Georgia (15 TPD), and Charleston, Tennessee (10 TPD).
