The U.S. Dept. of Energy (DOE) announced it was preparing to make as much as a $1.66 billion loan guarantee to Latham, New York-based Plug Power, with the money earmarked for construction of as many as six clean hydrogen facilities across the U.S.

The DOE on May 14 said the funds were part of a conditional commitment to Plug Power.  The Biden administration has made support for hydrogen production from clean energy sources—known as green hydrogen—a focus of its energy program. Most hydrogen is known as blue hydrogen, which is produced from fossil fuels including natural gas. Green hydrogen is produced using electricity from renewable energy resources such as solar and wind.
