Plug Power Inc., a global provider of hydrogen solutions, has formalised a new collaboration with Allied Green Ammonia, covering the supply of 2 gigawatts (GW) of electrolyzer capacity for a sustainable fuels project in Uzbekistan. The announcement was made during the Tashkent International Investment Forum, with executives from both companies in attendance.
A $5.5bn chemical facility under development
This new partnership aims to equip a future production facility for alternative fuels — including synthetic aviation fuel, green urea and green diesel — using Plug Power’s electrolyzer technology. The project is backed by the Uzbek government and represents an estimated investment of USD5.5bn. It marks the second major collaboration between Plug Power and Allied Green following a previous 3 GW commitment in Australia.
A cross-continental partnership
With this latest agreement, the total electrolyzer capacity engaged between Plug Power and Allied Green now reaches 5 GW globally. The Australian project, focused on green ammonia production, remains in its preparatory phase pending a final investment decision scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2025.
Sanjay Shrestha, President of Plug Power, stated that the development “reflects Plug’s ability to support ambitious emissions reduction goals with scalable technology”. The American firm continues to deploy its electrolyzer solutions across five continents, serving customers in the industrial, chemical, energy and transport sectors.
Public and private players driving industrial ambition
The Tashkent agreement comes amid growing public and private investment in large-scale hydrogen infrastructure. Alfred Benedict, Managing Director of Allied Green Ammonia, noted that the deal “is based on strong confidence in Plug’s ability to execute world-class projects”. The Uzbekistan project is intended to build an integrated value chain for alternative fuels serving multiple international markets.
