Plug Power Enters Biofuels Market: Plug Power and Edgewood Renewables Plan Large-Scale Renewable Fuel Facility in Nevada

Slingerlands (USA) – U.S. hydrogen specialist Plug Power is expanding its business and entering the production of renewable fuels. Together with Edgewood Renewables, the company plans to build a state-of-the-art facility in North Las Vegas, Nevada, that will process biogenic waste into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), renewable diesel (RD), and biomethanol.

The planned facility will use renewable natural gas (RNG) and low-carbon hydrogen as process energy. All end products are “drop-in” fuels that can be used directly in existing aircraft, truck, and ship engines. The project aims to reduce CO? emissions in the transport and industrial sectors.

According to the company, Plug Power will handle engineering, the supply of key components, and project oversight. Construction is scheduled to begin 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”

For Plug, this project marks its first major engagement in biomass- and RNG-based fuel production. The company is building on experience from designing and operating large-scale hydrogen facilities in Louisiana and Georgia.

“OOur 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 Chief Revenue Officer of Plug Power.

Through the partnership, Plug Power contributes its experience in engineering and constructing large energy facilities, while Edgewood Renewables will advance the scaling of renewable fuel solutions.

Plug Power shares rose 6.3 percent to €2.37 in the first three trading days of this week (closing price, October 29, 2025, Stuttgart Stock Exchange). Compared to the start of the year, this represents a gain of 3.9 percent.
