【Hydrogen Energy】Air Liquide in the United States builds plant producing 30 tons of liquid hydrogen per day
Thread Content
On May 24, the largest liquid hydrogen production and logistics infrastructure operated by Air Liquide in North Las Vegas, Nevada, was officially put into operation. The plant is expected to produce 30 tons of liquid hydrogen per day to meet the growing demand for hydrogen transportation and to supply hydrogen to various industries. Air Liquide claims that the plant is powered entirely by renewable electricity and is capable of supplying enough hydrogen to more than 40,000 fuel cell vehicles in California. It is hoped that through this event, the hydrogen-powered vehicle market will be able to expand further. As it continues to mature, the excess hydrogen will be sold to customers in other industries as an option for low-carbon and renewable energy.
In June 2020, Air Products’ hydrogen energy facility project in Haiyan was officially established in Haiyan, Jiaxing, with a total investment of around $1 billion. The project is divided into three components: the production and packaging of hydrogen energy, the manufacturing of key equipment components for the hydrogen energy industry, and the construction of demonstration cities for hydrogen energy utilization, with implementation carried out in phases. Once in operation, the daily production of liquid hydrogen is expected to reach 30 tons, which is the highest level in Asia at present.
