Industrial gas major Linde has said it remains confident in delivering $8bn to $10bn worth of clean energy projects over the next few years, underpinned by blue hydrogen and US 45Q tax credits.
Speaking during the company’s Q1 2025 earnings call, CEO Sanjiv Lamba said Linde was “about halfway through” that near-term pipeline, supported by two major projects currently underway, and despite slower momentum around large-scale green hydrogen.
