Plug Power Inc. has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Allied Green Ammonia (AGA) to supply up to 3GW of electrolyser capacity for AGA’s proposed hydrogen to ammonia facility in the Northern Territory.
Final investment decision (FID) for the project is scheduled for Q4 2025 and the progressive delivery of the 3GW electrolyser supply slated to begin in Q1 2027.

Plug Power CEO Andy Marsh said, “Ammonia producers have recognised the substantial advantages of cost and carbon reduction through electrolysis-based hydrogen.
“We’re thrilled to sign this MoU and partner with AGA. Our expertise in constructing and operating large-scale hydrogen production facilities and our PEM electrolyser manufacturing capability to support their 3GW project position us as the ideal partner for this endeavour.”
AGA founder and managing director Alfred Benedict said, “Our MoU with Plug builds on a long list of leading global firms who are joining us on our journey to build one of the largest green ammonia production facilities in the world, in a strategically located part of Australia given its proximity to Asia.
“This agreement, in light of Plug’s unrivalled expertise and complementary technologies, is a strong vote of confidence in our capabilities and a significant milestone in the planned delivery of Allied Green’s facility, which will be one of the most energy efficient green hydrogen and green ammonia projects globally.
“Given our respective track records in delivering clean energy infrastructure, this agreement is a critical first step and a testament to the alignment of our respective visions to provide tangible solutions that enable the world to achieve net-zero.”

Green hydrogen produced by Plug Power’s electrolysers can help decarbonize the ammonia production process by displacing Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) techniques.
AGA’s production facility will operate a 2500 metric ton-per-day (TPD) green ammonia process.
