Plug Power Inc. announced in October a strategic partnership with Edgewood Renewables to support the development and construction of its advanced renewable fuel facility in North Las Vegas, Nevada.
The project is designed to process waste biomass feedstocks to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), renewable diesel and biomethanol while utilizing renewable natural gas (RNG) and low-carbon hydrogen within its process.
All of the end products that will be produced at the facility are drop-in fuels that can go into today’s aviation, trucking and maritime engines and industries to help decarbonize transportation and heavy industrial use.
Under the partnership, Plug will provide engineering design, key product supply, fabrication and project oversight.
Construction of the facility and equipment is expected to begin in the coming months.
“Edgewood is focused on developing scalable renewable fuel platforms that turn waste streams into valuable, low-carbon energy,” said Steve Harrington, the CEO of Edgewood Renewables. “Partnering with Plug brings deep process expertise and proven execution capabilities that ensure these facilities will set a new benchmark for performance and reliability. Plug’s knowledge and know-how in the hydrogen space is a natural extension into the renewable fuels market.”
This partnership marks Plug’s first major engagement supporting renewable fuel production using biomass feedstocks and RNG, expanding the company’s reach beyond hydrogen into complementary clean-fuel markets.
Plug said its role draws on its extensive experience designing and constructing large-scale hydrogen production plants in Louisiana and Georgia, as well as the company’s long track record of engineering complex energy infrastructure rooted in decades of oil-and-gas project expertise.
“The renewable fuels work we’ve been doing with Edgewood at their Las Vegas area facility builds directly on Plug’s foundation of large-scale project execution,” said Jose Luis Crespo, Plug Power’s president and chief revenue officer. “Our engineering, plant design and commissioning teams have delivered major hydrogen facilities from concept to operation, capabilities that translate seamlessly to advanced biofuel projects.”
Alan Sharkey, Plug Power’s executive vice president of project execution, added, “This partnership underscores the versatility of Plug’s engineering and project-execution teams. Whether hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuel, renewable diesel or biomethanol, we know how to integrate complex systems at scale, and that’s exactly what’s needed to move renewable fuels forward.”
Plug said together, it and Edgewood are pioneering the integration of renewable feedstocks and advanced process design to deliver sustainable, domestic fuel solutions that advance the energy transition.
Plug provides electrolyzers, liquid hydrogen, fuel-cell systems, storage tanks and fueling infrastructure to industries such as material handling, industrial applications, and energy producers—advancing energy independence and decarbonization at scale.
With electrolyzers deployed across five continents, Plug said it leads in hydrogen production, delivering large-scale projects that “redefine industrial power.”
The company said it has deployed over 72,000 fuel-cell systems and 275 fueling stations and is the largest user of liquid hydrogen.
“With employees and state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities across the globe, Plug powers global leaders like Walmart, Amazon, Home Depot, BMW and BP,” the company stated.
