The invite-only Hydrogen Council Investor Day is taking place at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Times Square. “Now, with Plug Power as a new Council supporting member, I can’t wait to get to work with my fellow industry colleagues and the investment community to figure out how we can best execute and finance our vision in sculpting the global energy economy.” “I was honored to be invited to the Hydrogen Council’s launch at Davos in 2017 to speak to the Council members about how Plug Power has proven a model for viable hydrogen use, and how we can, as an industry, effectively scale and deploy sustainable hydrogen solutions across the globe in the years to come,” Marsh continued. As the global leader in the development and deployment of hydrogen fuel cell technology and hydrogen fueling stations, the expansion to mobility applications beyond the warehouse is a major part of the company’s growth strategy. Plug Power fuel cell solutions are driving into new electric vehicle markets, including ground support equipment and electric delivery vans.

The majority of the company’s hydrogen fueling stations are deployed within the material handling industry- facilitating increased productivity, reduced operational costs, and lower greenhouse gas emissions for customers such as Walmart, Amazon, Carrefour, and Home Depot. These hydrogen stations have supported more than 8 million fuelings, consisting of 4.9 million kilograms of hydrogen dispensed to date. This growth in electric vehicles will have an incredible, positive impact on global society as a whole, and the hydrogen industry is going to have a major role to play in powering this electrified future.”Ĭurrently, Plug Power has deployed over 16,000 fuel cell powered electric lift trucks and built more than 52 hydrogen stations in North America, Europe and Asia. “This irreversible trend is rapidly changing the vehicle landscape with the growth of electric drivetrains for mobility. “There’s a global trend towards electrification in all aspects of our daily lives,” said CEO Andy Marsh. With climate change and the challenges of developing a sustainable future top-of-mind for energy providers, manufacturers and business communties, the investor day is an opportunity for Plug Power and other members of the Council to discuss and develop an actionable plan that focuses on how the hydrogen industry can best finance and deploy sustainable energy and hydrogen-powered mobility solutions at scale in the years ahead.

The Hydrogen Council, which includes the participation of business leaders from some of the world’s leading auto and hydrogen manufacturers, is focused on shaping the role of hydrogen in the energy mix of the future. This follows Plug Power’s recent nomination to the Council as a supporting member. The event’s objective is to discuss the important contributions of hydrogen to the energy transition and effective implementation plans to further realize the compelling benefits of hydrogen deployment. The event is being held in New York City today during Climate Week NYC.
