Plug Power Secures 275 MW Electrolyzer Contract for Québec Ammonium Nitrate Plant
Plug Power secured a FEED contract to deliver a 275 MW GenEco PEM electrolyzer system for Hy2gen's Courant decarbonized ammonium nitrate facility in Baie-Comeau, Québec. The plant will produce low-carbon ammonia using Hydro-Québec hydroelectric power to supply renewable ammonium nitrate for the mining industry's explosives needs.
1. FEED Contract Awarded
Plug Power won the Front-End Engineering Design contract to supply a 275 MW GenEco PEM electrolyzer system for Hy2gen Canada's Courant project in Baie-Comeau, Québec, marking one of Plug's largest electrolyzer awards to date.
2. Project Scope and Technology
The electrolyzer will convert Hydro-Québec's low-carbon hydroelectric power into green hydrogen for ammonia production; this ammonia is then processed into renewable ammonium nitrate to meet mining industry explosives requirements across Québec and Central/Eastern Canada.
3. Strategic Impact for Plug Power
Securing this large-scale project underscores Plug Power’s leadership in hydrogen technology and leverages its gigafactory capacity, enhancing its position as a key supplier for global industrial decarbonization initiatives.
