Plug Power has announced exciting plans to invest $6bn in developing three green hydrogen production plants in Finland.<\/h2>\n

The green hydrogen plants will significantly boost Europe\u2019s energy supply and help decarbonise the sector \u2013 producing 850 tons of green hydrogen daily, or 2.2 gigawatts (GW) of electrolyser capacity.<\/p>\n

Plug\u2019s cutting-edge PEM electrolyser and liquefaction technology will be employed at the facilities. The green hydrogen produced at the plants will help yield ammonia and green direct reduced iron (DRI), which will help reduce Europe\u2019s dependency on fossil fuels.<\/p>\n

Broadening Europe\u2019s energy mix<\/h3>\n

The development of three new green hydrogen plants<\/a> will be critical for safeguarding Europe\u2019s energy security.<\/p>\n

The project\u2019s electrolyser capacity accounts for around 5% of the RePower EU plan<\/a>, which is targeting ten million tons of European renewable hydrogen by 2030.<\/p>\n

The green hydrogen plants will help pioneer low-carbon electricity around the European backbone pipeline near Bothnian Bay and contribute to Finland\u2019s goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2035.<\/p>\n

Where will the green hydrogen plants be based?<\/h3>\n

The green hydrogen plants will be positioned strategically across Finland to take advantage of the country\u2019s clean energy sources, such as nuclear, wind, and hydropower.<\/p>\n

The plants will be located at the following:<\/p>\n
