Additionally, news coming out today that President Joe Biden is meeting with Democrats to get agreement on the big infrastructure bill, which includes spending provisions for green infrastructure, is bullish for companies like Plug Power. Indeed, there are a number of catalysts investors are watching right now. And most of these are pointing in the right direction.

However, there’s another key catalyst specific to Plug Power that investors are watching. Let’s dive into why market sentiment around this stock is changing.

PLUG Stock Higher on Key Partnership

Yesterday, Plug Power announced the company would be entering into a partnership with Lhyfe to jointly develop green hydrogen plants. As a key player in the green infrastructure space, this deal is being viewed positively by the market. Indeed, investors seem to like what Lyhfe brings to the table. As a pioneer in the development of renewable and ecological hydrogen, this deal cements Plug Power’s position in the green/renewable hydrogen space.

Hydrogen can be produced via electrolysis (a green process), or as a by-product of natural gas. Accordingly, not all hydrogen is really that green (similar to electricity).

This deal ensures Plug Power’s status as a renewable energy player remains intact. Accordingly, this catalyst is driving shares of PLUG stock higher today.
