Hydrogen Production Secured: NASA Awards 36.9M-lb Liquid Hydrogen Contracts to Air Products & Plug Power

The article describes NASA awarding firm-fixed-price contracts to Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. and Plug Power, Inc. for nearly 37 million pounds of liquid hydrogen, to be delivered across six flight and research centers from December 1, 2025, to November 30, 2030. Multiple industry news sources from November 2024 confirm that NASA awarded multi-year liquid hydrogen supply contracts (totaling roughly 37 million lbs and valued at about $147–$150 million) to these suppliers. The details regarding the distribution to centers, purpose for cryogenic rocket engines, and broader context about hydrogen supply chain and previous relationships, are all supported by reputable reporting as of late 2024. There are no verifiable sources dated within the immediate last two weeks, so the information is not considered recent under the provided criteria.
