The impact on natural gas prices in Europe and the attraction of LNG toward Europe and away from New England which relies on LNG [liquefied natural gas] for winter heating could not have been entirely anticipated. Supply chain disruptions are real.”

Visited Plug Power Inc.’s R&D headquarters in Concord last week. Plug Power commercializes green hydrogen — hydrogen produced from clean energy like wind or solar. A Plug Power electrolyzer (one is shown on the right) draws on a clean electricity source like wind or solar to split water into oxygen and hydrogen molecules. Once separated, the hydrogen can be maintained and transported as either a gas or a liquid and used as a fuel, effectively acting as long-duration storage of the original clean energy. Walmart and Amazon use green hydrogen from Plug Power in their warehouses. ... See MoreSee Less
