US-based Plug Power has announced a landmark purchase agreement with Allied Green Ammonia (AGA) to supply 3GW of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolysers to AGA’s state-of-the-art green hydrogen-to-ammonia plant under development in the Northern Territory.

AGA will install a 4.5GW solar plant to power the Plug Power electrolysers with zero-emission clean electricity. The green hydrogen produced will be used to make green ammonia.
Plug Power will develop a Basic Engineering and Design Package (BEDP), providing crucial technical details and engineering specifications to attract investors and finalise financing.
AGA’s ambitious mega project—one of the largest green ammonia production facilities in the world—is set to produce approximately 2,700 metric tons per day (TPD) of green ammonia.
This venture is driven by a growing demand from AGA’s customers in Asia and Europe for ammonia used in a range of sectors, including agriculture, energy storage, transport, and industrial applications.
“Ammonia producers are recognizing the substantial advantages of cost and carbon reduction through electrolysis-based hydrogen,” Plug Power CEO Andy Marsh said.
