The hydrogen fuel from the plants is expected to power fuel cell-electric vehicles used in material handling, transportation, and heavy industry

The U.S. Energy Department on Tuesday said it has offered a conditional loan guarantee of up to $1.66-billion to Plug Power Inc, the department’s office of loan programs said.

The administration of President Joe Biden believes that low-carbon hydrogen can fight climate change by fueling heavy industry such as aluminum, cement and steel and long-haul transportation. The clean hydrogen plants will use Plug Power’s technology – called electrolyzer stacks – manufactured at the company’s factory in Rochester, New York. Plug Power is one of the top U.S. commercial-scale manufacturers of electrolyzers.
