14 As Georgia produces at its full capacity, this is expected to cut our fuel margin loss by as much as half from Q2 to Q4 2023 Baseline forecast includes cost downs if hydrogen was sourced from Plug’s internal network (~40% of 2023 demand) Plug expects its green hydrogen network to produce hydrogen at a cost that is one - third of our third - party purchases To clarify the estimated future impact, with a forecasted full year average customer demand of 65 tons of hydrogen fuel delivered per day, Plug would be able to achieve $100 million of gross margin improvement annually by sourcing all hydrogen internally from our plant network.
