Plug power has signed a large deal with AGA for the electrolyser capacity of its Australian Ammonia plant.
US-based hydrogen fuel cell developer Plug Power announced a large purchase agreement with Allied Green Ammonia (AGA) to supply three gigawatts (GW) of electrolyser capacity to AGA’s Australian plant.
The deal which is set to be followed by a Final Investment Decision (FID) expected Q2 2025, will oversee the manufacturing and delivery of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolysers commencing in Q1 2027.
Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug emphasised how the deal will lead to a reduction in emmisions for the long term.
Marsh said: “Ammonia producers are recognizing the substantial advantages of cost and carbon reduction through electrolysis-based hydrogen”.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Allied Green Ammonia, a leader in global green ammonia production. Together, we’re not only advancing green ammonia production but actively supporting the global transition to a net-zero emissions future.”
AGA’s green hydrogen-to-ammonia plant, which is currently under development in Australia, is set to produce 2,700 metric tons of green ammonia per day.
According to AGA, the deal was set with ambitions of appeasing growing demand from AGA’s customers in Asia and Europe.
The green ammonia produced from the plant can be used across varied sectors including agriculture, energy storage, transport, and industrial applications.
Alfred Benedict, Chairman and Managing Director of AGA, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership.
Benedict said: “Taking on a project of this magnitude, deploying 3 GW of electrolyzers, is no small feat. From the moment we decided to embark on this journey, we knew we were looking at a long-term commitment to our partners of 4 to 5 years.
“That’s why our relationship with Plug is so pivotal. Strong, enduring partnerships are the bedrock of successful projects like this. Having the right allies by our side, like Plug, makes all the difference in turning ambitious, green energy visions into reality.”
