US offers conditional $1.66 billion loan to hydrogen producer Plug Power
The U.S. Energy Department on Tuesday said it has offered a conditional loan guarantee of up to $1.66 billion to Plug Power Inc to help it build up to six plants to produce clean hydrogen. The hydrogen fuel from the plants is expected to power fuel cell-electric vehicles used in material handling, transportation, and heavy industry, the department's office of loan programs said. It is expected to result in an 84% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional hydrogen production, which derives hydrogen from natural gas, releasing large amounts of the main greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, unless captured and stored underground.
