The Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) has awarded a $58,320,240 Cooperative Agreement to Plug Power Inc. under the Renewable Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.087). The project aims to demonstrate a production pathway to meet a $40/kW stack cost target for 100,000 heavy-duty fuel cell stacks per year. Key objectives include manufacturing a high-performance membrane electrode assembly that achieves 2.5 kW/gPGM power at 1.07 A/cm2 and 0.7 V after 25,000 hours of operation. The integrated single manufacturing line will have the capacity to produce 20,000 stacks per year. The award runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025.
