Noatbly, Hy2gen is developing the Courant project as one of North America's largest low-carbon ammonium nitrate facilities, serving the mining industry in Québec, Central and Eastern Canada, and beyond.

Plug is providing advanced engineering and system design to integrate electrolyzers, optimize plant configuration, and enhance performance. Its PEM electrolyzer technology offers high reliability, efficiency, and operational flexibility.

The hydrogen plant will produce low-carbon ammonia using electricity from the Hydro-Québec grid, which will then be converted into renewable ammonium nitrate for mining industry explosives.

Plug CEO Jose Luis Crespo said the project “reflects growing demand for proven electrolyzer technology” for industrial decarbonization.
