Plug Power partners with Edgewood to build Las Vegas renewable site

Hydrogen solutions company Plug Power announced a strategic partnership with renewable project developer Edgewood Renewables to develop and construct its advanced fuel facility in North Las Vegas, Nevada.

The project will process waste biomass feedstocks to produce sustainable aviation fuel and other biofuels, while utilising renewable natural gas and low-carbon hydrogen.

Under the partnership, Plug will provide engineering design, key product supply, fabrication, and project oversight.

Construction of the facility and equipment is expected to commence in the coming months.

“Edgewood is focused on developing scalable renewable fuel platforms that turn waste streams into valuable, low-carbon energy,” said Steve Harrington, CEO, Edgewood Renewables.

“Partnering with Plug brings deep process expertise and proven execution capabilities that ensure these facilities will set a new benchmark for performance and reliability. Plug’s knowledge and know-how in the hydrogen space is a natural extension into the renewable fuels market.”

This partnership marks Plug’s first major engagement supporting renewable fuel production using biomass feedstocks and RNG. The company has designed and constructed large-scale hydrogen production plants in Louisiana and Georgia.

“The renewable fuels work we’ve been doing with Edgewood at their Las Vegas area facility builds directly on Plug’s foundation of large-scale project execution,” said Jose Luis Crespo, president and CRO, Plug Power.

“Our engineering, plant design, and commissioning teams have delivered major hydrogen facilities from concept to operation, capabilities that translate seamlessly to advanced biofuel projects.”
