- > Announcement of an investment of more than 400 million euros for the construction of the Air Liquide Normand’Hy electrolyzer. In the framework of the Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) approved by the European Commission, the project received the support of the French State for an amount of 190 million euros, as part of the “Plan de Relance”.
- > Inauguration of the Air Liquide and Siemens Energy electrolyzer gigafactory, which paves the way for the production of renewable hydrogen on an industrial scale at a competitive cost. This plant will count the Air Liquide Normand’Hy project among its first customers.
- > Air Liquide is a member of a record number of six of the seven renewable and low-carbon Hydrogen Hubs selected in October for financial support by the U.S. government.
- > Creation with Groupe ADP of “Hydrogen Airport”, the first engineering and consulting joint venture specialized in accompanying airports in their projects to integrate hydrogen in their infrastructure.
- > Launch of TEAL Mobility, a 50/50 joint venture with TotalEnergies, to develop a network of more than 100 hydrogen distribution stations for trucks on major European highways.
- > Signature with the Japanese energy giant ENEOS Corporation of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to accelerate the development of low-carbon hydrogen and the energy transition in Japan.
- > Selection of Air Liquide’s autothermal reforming (ATR) technology for a project owned and operated by INPEX CORPORATION, for the large-scale production of hydrogen and low-carbon ammonia, a first in Japan.
- > Development with KBR of a low- carbon ammonia and hydrogen production solutions offering based on Air Liquide’s Autothermal Reforming (ATR) technology. In addition, a project for an innovative industrial-scale ammonia cracking pilot plant in the port of Antwerp, Belgium.
