Plug Power to supply two hydrogen
liquefaction systems to TC Energy
Plug Power is set to deliver two 30-tonne-per-day hydrogen
liquefaction systems to natural gas firm, TC Energy Corporation.
Scheduled for delivery in the second to third quarter of 2024, the
liquefiers will serve TC Energy’s facilities in North America which
are yet to be built.
In 2021, TC Energy partnered with Nikola Corporation to help develop a
number of large-scale hydrogen production facilities in the US and
Canada.
“TC Energy is advancing decarbonisation solutions across Canada and
the US,” said Corey Hessen Executive Vice-President and President,
Power & Energy Solutions. “Securing long-lead equipment and systems
gives us a head start as we move to finalise sites for hydrogen
production and distribution hubs.”
Using a hydrogen refrigeration cycle, the Plug liquefiers will put
hydrogen into its liquid state, offering higher energy density
compared to gaseous hydrogen, making it easier to transport, and use
in some cases.
Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug Power, commented,
“As a leader in manufacturing reliable hydrogen liquefiers, Plug is
focused on optimising both capital and operational efficiency for our
customers at every stage of the hydrogen value chain.”
Plug Power gained its core competency in liquefaction systems through
the acquisition of Joule Processing LLC last year (2022).
“This deal validates our investment in Plug’s liquefaction
capabilities as part of our vision to build an end-to-end green
hydrogen solution. We share TC Energy’s commitment to providing
sustainable and secure energy, and together we look forward to
accelerating the growth of the hydrogen market,” Marsh added.
