Praxair, Inc. has signed a long-term contract to supply hydrogen (H2) to Marathon Petroleum Corporation’s refinery in Garyville, Louisiana. The company will use the H2 to support an ultra-low-sulfer diesel project planned for 2018.
Marathon Petroleum is the third-largest transportation fuels refiner in the US and operates an integrated refining, marketing and transportation system in the Midwest, East, Southeast and Gulf Coast. The H2 will be supplied through Praxair’s extensive Southeast Louisiana pipeline network.
