Air Products has announced plans to construct a new 180-mile long pipeline connecting its existing Louisiana and Texas hydrogen pipeline systems, creating the world’s largest hydrogen plant and pipeline supply network.
The integrated pipeline system will unite over 20 hydrogen plants and over 600 miles of pipelines to supply the Louisiana and Texas refinery and petrochemical industries with over one billion cubic feet of hydrogen per day.
The new Gulf Coast hydrogen pipeline network is expected to be operational in mid-2012. This project allows Air Products to bring multiple benefits to its hydrogen customers.
“Air Products’ investment in this pipeline extension demonstrates our hydrogen market leadership and confidence in our Gulf Coast growth opportunities. Connecting our Gulf Coast hydrogen plants via this pipeline will offer our customers in this market enhanced supply capabilities and unmatched reliability of hydrogen supply which is critical to their operations,” said Steve Jones, Senior Vice President and General Manager – Tonnage Gases, Equipment and Energy at Air Products.
