LOW-CARBON HYDROGEN, A SUSTAINABLE INDUSTRY ALLY
Air Liquide is accelerating its low-carbon hydrogen production to meet its customers’ needs. Four major achievements underline this shift in pace in the large-scale hydrogen production.
▶ IN BÉCANCOUR, CANADA, AIR LIQUIDE HAS COMPLETED THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE WORLD’S LARGEST PEM(1) ELECTROLYZER.
Supplied with renewable energy, this unit which produces up to 8.2 tons per day of low-carbon hydrogen will help meet the growing local demand for industrial use and mobility.
▶ AIR LIQUIDE HAS JOINED FORCES WITH SIEMENS ENERGY TO DEVELOP THE PRODUCTION OF LOW-CARBON HYDROGEN AT A COMPETITIVE PRICE.
Both Groups’ technological expertise in electrolysis will drive the development of the next generation of electrolyzers.
▶ THE GROUP HAS ACQUIRED A STAKE IN H2V NORMANDY(2)
to support large-scale renewable hydrogen production in France via the construction of a large-scale electrolyzer complex in Port-Jérôme (Normandy).
▶ IN TAIWAN, THE GROUP HAS COMPLETED THE FIRST PHASE OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF ITS ELECTROLYSIS HYDROGEN PLANTS
in the Tainan Technology Industrial Park. These plants will meet the local semiconductor industry’s demand for ultra-high purity hydrogen.

A TRANSITION TO LOW-CARBON STEEL PRODUCTION
Air Liquide and ArcelorMittal have signed a memorandum of understanding to accelerate the decarbonization of the Dunkirk industrial basin, in the north of France. The two companies are joining forces to transform the steel production process through the development of innovative solutions involving low-carbon hydrogen and CO2 capture technologies. This partnership underlines Air Liquide’s commitment to supporting its customers in the decarbonization of their industry.
