Plug Power Inc. has announced it has been awarded the front-end engineering design (FEED) contract to supply a 275 MW GenEco PEM electrolyser system for Hy2gen Canada Inc.’s ‘Courant’ project. The system represents one of the largest electrolyser project awards to Plug to date.
Hy2gen is developing the Courant project as one of North America’s largest decarbonised 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 electrolyser integration, plant configuration, and performance optimisation. Plug’s PEM electrolyser technology is well-suited for applications requiring reliability, high efficiency, and operational flexibility.
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.
“Being selected as the electrolyser supplier for Hy2gen’s Courant project underscores Plug’s ability to support large-scale hydrogen and hydrogen-derived products,” said Jose Luis Crespo, President and CEO of Plug. “This project reflects growing demand for proven electrolyser technology and experienced partners capable of supporting complex, high-capacity developments required for industrial decarbonisation. In choosing Plug, Hy2gen has also recognised our unique ability to serve projects of this large magnitude thanks to Plug’s gigafactory.”
"This collaboration combines Hy2gen’s project development expertise with Plug’s electrolyser technology to enable a green chemical project producing low-carbon ammonium nitrate for Canada’s mining industry,” added Cyril Dufau-Sansot, CEO of Hy2gen. “By supporting this strategic sector, we are accelerating practical, large scale decarbonisation.”
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, reinforcing Plug’s position as a trusted technology and supply partner for leading global hydrogen developers.
