Plug Power Inc., a global pioneer in comprehensive hydrogen solutions for the green hydrogen economy, has been selected to supply two 5-megawatt (MW) proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer systems for green hydrogen projects in Tasmania, Australia, under development by Countrywide Hydrogen Pty Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ReNu Energy Limited.

electrolyzer systems

Plug’s electrolyzer systems, which were selected by Countrywide Hydrogen, will be installed at planned production facilities in Brighton near Hobart and Western Junction near Launceston.

The 4,200 kg/day of hydrogen produced at these two sites will be used to decarbonize road transport and natural gas sectors in Tasmania.

Plug’s PEM electrolyzer systems are a perfect complement to the plant designs"

Plug is pleased to support Countrywide Hydrogen with its ambitious green hydrogen projects in the state of Tasmania,” said Plug CEO Andy Marsh.

The plants are strategically located to leverage existing infrastructure, and Plug’s PEM electrolyzer systems are a perfect complement to the plant designs.”

renewable power

The hydrogen will be produced via electrolysis with renewable power planned to be initially sourced from the state grid, with subsequent supply from behind-the-meter solar and power purchase agreements from wind, solar, and hydropower operators.

The water will be supplied from TasWater’s network.

storage system

The design includes a second electrolyzer at each site to meet increased hydrogen demand. It ensures a secure supply by implementing electrolyzer redundancy and the use of tube trailers for hydrogen storage. 

The storage system ensures that the sites can support one another in the event of unexpected outages. The sites will include connections to the TasGas network, allowing the injection of hydrogen into the network as well as supply to local industry.
