Plug Power has signed a 280 MW electrolyzer supply agreement with Arcadia eFuels for Project ENDOR in Vordingborg, Denmark, alongside a strategic cooperation agreement positioning Plug as the preferred electrolyzer supplier for more than 1 GW of Arcadia eFuels’ future sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) projects in Europe and the Americas.

Project ENDOR is Arcadia eFuels’ flagship facility, located at the Port of Vordingborg on Denmark’s south coast. The plant will use renewable grid power to run 280 MW of Plug’s GenEco electrolyzers, producing approximately 110 tons of renewable hydrogen per day. Arcadia eFuels plans to combine that hydrogen with captured carbon dioxide to produce synthetic jet fuel compatible with standard aircraft engines.

The supply agreement follows three years of joint engineering work. Deliveries are set to begin after the project issues a notice to proceed. Project ENDOR is advancing toward a final investment decision (FID).

The strategic cooperation agreement extends the relationship to four additional Arcadia eFuels projects, with priority access to Plug’s manufacturing capacity as each project advances.

“Signing the ENDOR supply agreement alongside a strategic cooperation agreement positions Plug not only as the electrolyzer supplier for Arcadia eFuels’ flagship project, but as their preferred partner across a pipeline of e-SAF developments in Europe and the Americas,” said José Luis Crespo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Plug. “This reflects continued confidence in our GenEco technology, our manufacturing capacity, and Plug’s ability to deliver complex, high-capacity projects at scale. Europe remains our most active electrolyzer market, and e-SAF is one of the fastest-growing segments of demand as aviation fuel mandates take effect. Producing that fuel from European electricity and European carbon rather than imported oil also strengthens the continent’s energy security.”

“Project ENDOR is on the path to final investment decision, and this supply agreement from Plug signifies one of the many project documents that have been finalized,” said Amy Hebert, Chief Executive Officer of Arcadia eFuels. “Sustainable aviation fuel made from renewable hydrogen and captured carbon is what will get aviation to its decarbonisation targets, and Plug gives us a proven and bankable electrolyzer partner at the scale this project demands.”

The EU’s ReFuelEU Aviation mandate requires a rising share of SAF at European airports, including a sub-target for synthetic fuels from 2030. Plug said it is executing multiple European projects with combined capacity in the multi-gigawatt range, including a 100 MW GenEco installation at Galp’s refinery in Sines, Portugal.
