In the United States (US), Plug Power Inc., a leading provider of turnkey hydrogen solutions has announced a strategic partnership with Edgewood Renewables LLC to support the development and construction of its advanced renewable fuel facility in North Las Vegas, Nevada (NV).
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 end products 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 Power will provide engineering design, key product supply, fabrication, and project oversight to Edgewood Renewables. 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. 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, said Steve Harrington, CEO, Edgewood Renewables.
First major biomass project
This partnership marks Plug Power’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.
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. Our engineering, plant design, and commissioning teams have delivered major hydrogen facilities from concept to operation, capabilities that translate seamlessly to advanced biofuel projects, said Jose Luis Crespo, President and CRO, Plug Power.
Plug’s role draws on its extensive experience designing and constructing large-scale hydrogen production plants in Louisiana (LA) and Georgia (GA), as well as the company’s long track record of engineering complex energy infrastructure rooted in decades of oil and gas project expertise.
This partnership underscores the versatility of Plug’s engineering and project execution teams. 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, added Alan Sharkey, EVP of Project Execution, Plug Power.
Together, Plug Power and Edgewood Renewables are pioneering the integration of renewable feedstocks and advanced process design to deliver sustainable, domestic fuel solutions that advance the energy transition.
