Plug Power’s Georgia Hydrogen Plant Sets U.S. Production Record Using Plug Electrolyzer Technology

WOODBINE, Ga., May 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG), a global leader in comprehensive hydrogen solutions, announced today that its hydrogen plant in Woodbine, Georgia produced 300 metric tons of liquid hydrogen in April 2025—the facility’s highest monthly output to date and a new benchmark for the U.S. hydrogen industry.

The plant, which opened in January 2024, is the largest electrolytic liquid hydrogen production facility in the United States and uses Plug’s proprietary GenEco proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer technology. Designed for a nameplate capacity of 15 tons per day, the site continues to demonstrate the scalability, reliability, and cost-competitiveness of Plug’s vertically integrated approach.

“Plug’s Georgia plant is doing exactly what it was built to do—delivering real hydrogen at real scale using Plug technology,” said Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug Power. “This isn’t a pilot or a promise. It’s commercial hydrogen production, with proven technology running 24/7 and making an impact today.”

The Georgia facility is a cornerstone of Plug’s growing hydrogen generation network, which includes operational plants in Georgia, Tennessee, and Louisiana. Together, these sites represent a combined production capacity of 40 tons per day, making Plug the largest producer of liquid hydrogen in the United States.

“The performance in Georgia reinforces strong market demand for Plug’s GenEco electrolyzers,” said Jose Luis Crespo, Chief Revenue Officer at Plug Power. “Producing and delivering hydrogen with our own technology strengthens customer value, improves margins, and supports long-term commercial growth.”

Hydrogen produced at the Georgia plant supplies Plug’s key customers in logistics and distribution—including Walmart, Amazon, and Home Depot—helping them decarbonize operations while ensuring a stable, domestically produced fuel supply.
