Towards Scalable Manufacture of Low Iridium Loading Catalyst for Durable PEM Water Electrolyzers (PEM-WE):<\/strong> This project will guide the development of non-precious metal catalyst supports for proton exchange membrane electrolyzers that can enable cost reduction without sacrificing performance and durability. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nPlug followed DOE\u2019s highly selective award process for this funding opportunity. It began with the creation of proposal teams that included Plug and external partners, followed by the submission of concept papers, and then in-depth full proposals detailing how the team would develop high-performance fuel cell and electrolyzer technologies to meet the DOE\u2019s technical and decarbonization goals. Drs. Karen Swider Lyons, Principal R&D Engineer, and Corky Mittlesteadt, VP Electrolyzer Technology, led the fuel cell and electrolyzer efforts, respectively, ensuring the proposals\u2019 alignment with Plug’s technology and manufacturing roadmaps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The proposals describe and afford robust community benefits in furtherance of the Biden Administration\u2019s Justice40 initiatives. Plug will engage with partner organizations to positively impact the surrounding communities (particularly historically disadvantaged communities) by creating economic, environmental and societal benefits through these awards. Advancing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA), energy equity and workforce development opportunities are cornerstones of these plans, which can help cement Plug as an engaged community partner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plug is honored to be selected for these awards, which are demonstrative of our manufacturing leadership in the United States and dedication to a clean energy future. We extend our gratitude to Senate Majority Leader Schumer, Senator Gillibrand, Congressman Joe Morelle, and Congressman Paul Tonko, who have continuously supported Plug and the clean hydrogen industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Bipartisan Infrastructure & Jobs Law is helping supercharge Upstate NY\u2019s clean hydrogen sector. With this federal funding, Plug Power and other cutting-edge companies will be able to increase production capacity and spark new innovation to reach the next frontier of clean hydrogen manufacturing and research, all while supporting good paying clean energy jobs and boosting the fight against climate change\u201d said Senator Schumer. \u201cClean green hydrogen is one of the most exciting forms of new energy production and with the major federal investments being made thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act I championed, Upstate NY is poised to lead the way in powering America\u2019s clean energy future.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cInvesting in clean energy manufacturing is vital to fighting climate change. With this federal funding, Plug Power and other innovative companies will be able to accelerate their critical work and continue to show the world that New York is leading the way in clean hydrogen technology,\u201d said Senator Gillibrand. \u201cI\u2019m proud to have fought to pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to boost the manufacturing capabilities of clean energy companies like Plug Power, all while creating good-paying jobs for communities in Upstate New York. I look forward to seeing the innovative work that results from these awards and will continue to fight to bring federal dollars home to create a greener future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNew York is a leader in green energy and innovative technologies\u2014thanks in no small part to the work of Rochester businesses like Plug Power and Ionomer Innovations,\u201d said Congressman Joe Morelle. \u201cI congratulate them on this significant investment, which is a testament to the cutting-edge work they do to bring our economy into its green energy future. I\u2019m proud to have worked alongside Senator Schumer to secure this funding, and I look forward to more opportunities to work alongside him and my colleagues on the House Appropriations Committee to bring more federal investments like this one home to Rochester.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Plug is thrilled to announce that we have been selected by the Department of Energy (DOE) for a total of nine awards for Clean Hydrogen Electrolysis, Manufacturing, and Recycling Activities under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The recent award selections demonstrate Plug\u2019s industry leadership and pave the way for accelerating our technology and manufacturing capabilities. \u201cPlug ...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12136","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"\n
