Plug Power Partners with Edgewood Renewables to Build Best in Class Renewable Fuels Facility in Nevada

Rhea-AI Summary

Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG) announced a strategic partnership with Edgewood Renewables to develop an advanced renewable fuels facility in North Las Vegas, Nevada, announced Oct 23, 2025.

The plant will process waste biomass feedstocks to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), renewable diesel (RD), and biomethanol, using renewable natural gas (RNG) and low-carbon hydrogen. Plug will provide engineering design, key product supply, fabrication, and project oversight, and construction is expected to begin in the coming months.

This marks Plug’s first major renewable-fuel biomass project and expands its engineering and project-execution footprint beyond hydrogen into complementary clean-fuel markets.

Insights

Project Strategy Analyst

Partnership to build a Nevada renewable‑fuels plant broadens Plug Power's project scope and signals near‑term construction activity.

Plug Power and Edgewood Renewables will develop a North Las Vegas facility to convert waste biomass into SAF, renewable diesel, and biomethanol, using RNG and low‑carbon hydrogen in the process; Plug will supply engineering design, key equipment, fabrication, and project oversight, with construction expected to begin in the coming months.

The announcement moves Plug into adjacent clean‑fuel markets beyond hydrogen, leveraging its large‑scale project execution record. The partnership's value depends on successful permits, feedstock contracts, and timely construction; no financial terms, capacity figures, or offtake agreements are disclosed, which limits ability to quantify economic impact.

Watch for contract orftake announcements, permitting milestones, and a construction start date within the next 6–18 months; these items will clarify project scale, revenue timing, and capital needs.

Technical Operations Analyst

The technical scope indicates integration complexity but uses proven process elements Plug has deployed before.

The plant intends to produce drop‑in fuels compatible with existing engines, combining biomass feedstocks with RNG and low‑carbon hydrogen; Plug's assigned roles cover detailed engineering, equipment supply, fabrication, and oversight, which match typical responsibilities for system integration projects.

Key operational risks include feedstock variability, process integration of multiple product streams, and commissioning timelines; the release gives no performance specs or throughput targets, so operational impact remains undefined.

Monitor engineering deliverables, feedstock supply agreements, and first‑fire/commissioning milestones as indicators of technical feasibility and schedule; expect clearer operational metrics as construction advances over the next 12–24 months.

SLINGERLANDS, N.Y., Oct. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG), a global leader in comprehensive hydrogen solutions for the hydrogen economy, today announced 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 (RD), and biomethanol, while utilizing, within its process, renewable natural gas (RNG) and low-carbon hydrogen. 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 commence 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, CEO, 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’s 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, President and CRO, Plug Power. “Our engineering, plant design, and commissioning teams have delivered major hydrogen facilities from concept to operation, capabilities that translate seamlessly to advanced biofuel projects.”

“This partnership underscores the versatility of Plug’s engineering and project execution teams,” added Alan Sharkey, EVP of Project Execution, Plug Power. “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.”

Together, Plug and Edgewood are pioneering the integration of renewable feedstocks and advanced process design to deliver sustainable, domestic fuel solutions that advance the energy transition.
