Plug Power wins 50-MW electrolyzer order for Orica’s Hunter Valley Hydrogen Hub in Australia

This article was originally posted on Chemical Engineering Online.
Summary
Plug Power has secured a 50‑MW order for its GenEco PEM electrolyzers after the Hunter Valley Hydrogen Hub in Newcastle, New South Wales, reached final investment decision; the Orica-developed project now moves into execution.

What impact do you expect this 50‑MW green hydrogen hub to have on Australia’s industrial decarbonization, and what barriers still need to be cleared?

Plug Power Inc. (Latham, N.Y.) announced that the 50-megawatt (MW) Hunter Valley Hydrogen Hub (HVHH) project in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, has reached final investment decision (FID), moving the project into execution and advancing the delivery of Plug’s GenEco Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers. The Hunter Valley Hydrogen Hub is being developed by Orica, […]

At 50 MW you're looking at about 23 t/d H2, 200-250 m3/d of 0.1 uS/cm water, and roughly 15 MW of heat to reject, so the DI plant and cooling will govern uptime more than the stacks. Are they routing the O2 into nitric acid service, and do they have hard interlocks on H2-in-O2 crossover plus a defined stack replacement schedule?
