Hidrogenii, a joint venture between US green hydrogen company Plug Power and chemical manufacturing firm Olin Corporation, has turned on a 15-tonnes-per-day hydrogen liquefaction plant in St Gabriel, Louisiana.
Hidrogenii was established to build and operate the facility, which is now one of the largest electrolytic hydrogen liquefaction plants in North America.
The plant will liquefy hydrogen produced by Olin, enabling trailer-based shipments to customers in the US. Further down the line, its capacity will increase to process 40 tonnes of hydrogen a day.
Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug Power, described the new plant as a milestone in expanding the company’s US hydrogen network.
Ken Lane, President and CEO of Olin, added, “This joint venture is consistent with Olin’s approach to build on our existing leading positions through adjacencies or bolt-ons.”
