Air Products and its subsidiary, Air Products Canada Ltd., in
conjunction with the Government of Canada and the Province of Alberta in 2021 announced a multi-billion plan
to build a landmark new net-zero hydrogen energy complex that will
make Edmonton, Alberta the centre
of western Canada's hydrogen
economy and set the stage for Air Products to operate the most
competitive and lowest-carbon-intensity hydrogen network in the
world.
The project begins with a previously announced transformative
$1.3 billion (CAD) net-zero hydrogen
production and liquefaction facility expected to be onstream in
2024. The project relies on an innovative combination of
well-established technologies to jump-start an ambitious transition
to carbon neutrality.
As the world's largest hydrogen producer, Air Products has
experience across the full value chain for hydrogen and is driving
sustainable growth by building, owning and operating the world's
largest production, gasification, carbon capture, transportation
and fueling projects. The company's technologies are used in over
1.5 million refuelings annually across 20 countries. With over 60
years of global hydrogen experience operating in over 50 countries,
Air Products has the proven capability and know-how to make
hydrogen through all available production methods and to distribute
this increasingly important emission-free fuel safely, reliably,
and economically.
