Air Products to build green liquid hydrogen production facility in Arizona

Air Products has announced plans to build, own and operate production facility for green liquid hydrogen in Arizona.

The entire facility in Casa Grande will be powered with renewable energy, eliminating carbon during the hydrogen production process.

It is expected to come on stream in 2023, with the hydrogen to be sold to the transportation market in California and other locations requiring zero carbon hydrogen.

The site will also include a terminal for distributing the product to customer locations throughout California and other markets.

Eric Guter, Air Products' Vice President, Hydrogen for Mobility said: “We're excited to bring this new source of green hydrogen to the California market and recognise the vision of decarbonising the transportation sector. California is a global leader in the energy transition and as a global leader in hydrogen and hydrogen for mobility, Air Products is proud to contribute to solving a significant energy and environmental challenge. The Arizona project is another link in the hydrogen supply chain to ensure reliable supply of decarbonised fuel to customers.

“Air Products is continuing to pursue other opportunities to produce low and zero carbon hydrogen to help meet the growing demand in world leading geographies.”
