Plug Power Inc
Plug Power Inc., or the Company, is a leading provider of alternative energy
technology focused on the design, development, commercialization and manufacture
of hydrogen fuel cell systems used primarily for the material handling and stationary
power market.
We are focused on proton exchange membrane, or PEM, fuel cell and fuel processing
technologies, fuel cell/battery hybrid technologies, and associated hydrogen
storage and dispensing infrastructure from which multiple products are available.
A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that combines hydrogen and oxygen to
produce electricity and heat without combustion. Hydrogen is derived from hydrocarbon
fuels such as liquid petroleum gas, or LPG, natural gas, propane, methanol,
ethanol, gasoline or biofuels. Plug Power develops complete hydrogen delivery,
storage and refueling solutions for customer locations. Hydrogen can also be
obtained from the electrolysis of water, or produced on-site at consumer locations
through a process known as reformation. Currently the Company obtains hydrogen
by purchasing it from fuel suppliers.
