CEOG is the world's first multi-megawatt, baseload hydrogen power plant, and the largest green hydrogen storage of intermittent renewable electricity sources. Also, CEOG is the first order for a new generation of megawatt power fuel cell systems dedicated to stationary applications, which will be mass produced in the HDF facility in\n \n Bordeaux\n \n .\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n This project is part of a multi-staged development agreement between Ballard and HDF, as initially announced in\n \n December 2019\n \n by Ballard. CEOG is the first commercial project for HDF under this agreement. This is an important proof point for the use of hydrogen storage and electrical regeneration combined with renewable energy. The\n \n $200 million\n \n French Guiana CEOG project will combine a solar park, long-term hydrogen and short-term battery storage and fuel cells specified by HDF, based on Ballard's ClearGen\n \n ®\n \n architecture.\n \n \n The Renewstable\n \n ®\n \n power plant, designed and developed by HDF, will supply a 100% renewable, stable and dispatchable power to the equivalent of 10,000 households at a lower cost than a diesel power plant, but without emitting any greenhouse gas, fine particle emissions, noise or fumes.\n \n \n \"CEOG demonstrates that HDF Renewstable\n \n ®\n \n solution addresses a very lar...
