Plug Power Inc., a leader in hydrogen solutions for the green hydrogen economy, has signed a landmark agreement with Allied Green Ammonia (AGA). The deal positions Plug as the supplier of 3 GW of electrolyzer capacity for AGA’s advanced green hydrogen-to-ammonia plant under development in Australia.
Powering Clean Energy with Solar
AGA plans to install a 4.5 GW solar power plant to energize Plug’s electrolyzers, ensuring zero-emission electricity drives the production of green hydrogen. Additionally, this hydrogen will serve as the feedstock for green ammonia, aligning with global sustainability goals.
Plug will now focus on developing a Basic Engineering and Design Package (BEDP), detailing technical specifications to attract investors and secure financing. A final investment decision (FID) is also anticipated by Q2 2025, after which Plug will begin manufacturing and delivering its Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers in Q1 2027.

Mega Project to Meet Global Demand
Alfred Benedict, Chairman and Managing Director of AGA, said, “Taking on a project of this magnitude, deploying 3 GW of electrolyzers, is no small feat. From the moment we decided to embark on this journey, we knew we were looking at a long-term commitment to our partners of 4 to 5 years.
He added, “That’s why our relationship with Plug is so pivotal. Strong, enduring partnerships are the bedrock of successful projects like this. Having the right allies by our side, like Plug, makes all the difference in turning ambitious, green energy visions into reality.”
Once operational, AGA’s facility will produce 2,700 metric tons of green ammonia daily, ranking it among the world’s largest green ammonia production plants. With growing demand in Asia and Europe, the ammonia will serve diverse sectors, including agriculture, energy storage, transportation, and industrial applications.
