Air Products has revealed plans to build a new liquid hydrogen (H2) plant at its La Porte, Texas industrial gas facility to meet increasing product demand from several customer markets.
The liquid H2 plant will produce approximately 30 tonnes per day, will draw its H2 to be liquefied from Air Products’ existing Gulf Coast H2 pipeline system network, and is to be onstream in 2021.
