H2 Overview

As a versatile renewable energy source, hydrogen is a key element in the energy transition. Reducing carbon emissions from industry, developing clean transportation, and limiting fossil fuel usage are just some of the potential benefits of hydrogen.

A Cornerstone of the Energy Transition

Air Liquide is leveraging decades of world leadership in hydrogen energy insight, innovation and investment to invent a cleaner, safer, more reliable energy market and advance the transition to a clean energy economy with hydrogen at its core. Air Liquide is a pioneer in the hydrogen market, with over 60 years of experience across the entire hydrogen value chain - from production, distribution and storage to the development of end-use applications. Hydrogen has a variety of applications in the energy transition, including mobility and transportation applications and can also be stored and used to manage electric grid demand.

Invested into hydrogen in the U.S. to date

By 2050 reach carbon neutrality 

As the most abundant element on Earth and a major lever for the decarbonization of industry, hydrogen can be found everywhere - from the industrial sectors and mass transportation to storage and power generation. Hydrogen can also be produced in a variety of ways including electrolysis from renewable energies or low-carbon sources, and by methane or biomethane reforming with CO2 capture and storage.

Decarbonizing the Industry

Hydrogen can be used in many industrial sectors that are challenging to decarbonize for its energy potential or as a raw material.

  • Focus on: Nevada LH2 Facility

    Air Liquide has built and developed the Group's newest, and largest, liquid hydrogen production facility in North Las Vegas, Nevada. This plant signifies a $250 million investment in the U.S. hydrogen market and will meet the growing demand of industry and customers in the region. It was built to serve California’s mobility market, and will supply the California HFCEV drivers with renewable hydrogen as that market develops. While this market matures, the plant configuration will also allow for the sale of hydrogen outside of the mobility market with a range of renewable and low-carbon options for customers.

  • Faurecia: On-board liquid hydrogen storage systems for heavy duty

    Air Liquide has partnered with Faurecia to develop a liquid tank system that will double on-board liquid hydrogen storage systems for the automotive industry to accelerate the deployment of zero-emission heavy-duty mobility. This design and production will give trucks twice the range for the same payload due to its hydrogen capacity compared to gaseous hydrogen.

  • Bécancour: The world's largest PEM electrolyzer in operation

    The world’s largest PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) electrolyzer in operation today, in Bécancour, Québec, is a membrane-based, renewable hydrogen production unit in Canada. As the world’s largest PEM electrolyzer to produce decarbonized hydrogen, the site produces hydrogen gas and liquid hydrogen for industrial customers in Canada and the U.S. Supplied with renewable energy, this unit produces up to 8.2 tonnes per day of low-carbon hydrogen to supply our industrial customers.
