Plug Power Inc. announced it has been awarded the Front-End Engineering Design contract to supply a 275 MW GenEco PEM electrolyzer system for Hy2gen Canada Inc.?s Courant project. The system represents one of the largest electrolyzer project awards to Plug to date. Hy2gen is developing the Courant project as one of North America?s largest decarbonized ammonium nitrate facilities, supporting the mining industry's goals in Québec, Central and Eastern Canada, and beyond.

Plug?s scope includes advanced engineering and system design activities to support electrolyzer integration, plant configuration, and performance optimization. The large-scale hydrogen plant will support Hy2gen?s production of low-carbon ammonia, using electricity delivered via the Hydro-Québec grid, and that ammonia will then be further processed into renewable ammonium nitrate for the mining industry's explosives needs. Located in Baie-Comeau, Québec, the facility leverages Canada?s abundant low-carbon hydroelectric resources, established industrial and distribution infrastructure, and deep-water port access.

The Courant project builds on Plug?s established relationship with Hy2gen, following previous collaborations on renewable hydrogen projects in Europe and ongoing hydrogen supply arrangements. Together, the companies continue to advance large-scale hydrogen projects across multiple geographies.
