Plug Power has announced it has signed a long-term hydrogen distribution agreement with Praxair, one of the largest industrial gases companies in the world and North America’s largest liquid hydrogen producer.
The agreement pairs Plug Power’s GenFuel hydrogen fuelling infrastructure solution with Praxair’s liquid hydrogen supply capability helping customers realize productivity and environmental benefits.
Plug Power will offer Praxair hydrogen to its customers throughout the United States who are using the company’s GenKey hydrogen fuel cell solution. The GenKey solution consists of three separate elements: GenDrive fuel cell units, GenFuel hydrogen fuel and infrastructure, and GenCare maintenance service. Plug Power provides customers with full integration and deployment of the entire GenKey package to ensure a seamless transition to hydrogen fuel cell-based power for their material handling operations.
Praxair’s hydrogen supply system provides a high-quality, reliable source of hydrogen for Plug Power customers. Praxair has been providing hydrogen fuel and related technical support to fuel cell developers for over a decade and maintains liquid hydrogen production capacity and distribution capabilities throughout North America. Praxair recently announced it was building a steam methane reformer to increase the supply of hydrogen for customers served from its liquid hydrogen plant in Niagara Falls, New York.
