Gasification is a long-established technology with a fascinating future. As an early example at industrial scale, the Seattle Gas Light Company coal gasification plant in the State of Washington came into operation in 1906. At...
One of the most promising routes to take the next steps on the road to full decarbonisation is carbon capture and storage (CCS) from existing combustion processes, such as cement production or electrical power generation.
The air that we breathe into our air separation unit (ASU) costs money in the form of electrical power. Our return comes from selling the oxygen, nitrogen and argon that we compress. Whilst the oxygen...
Hydrogen mobility is growing rapidly, especially in countries like Germany and South Korea which have committed to invest in a hydrogen fuelling station infrastructure. As with any growth market, there is space for new entrants.
Solid oxide electrolysis (SOE) has high potential in Power-to-X applications. Beyond that, it can integrate seamlessly into several chemical processes, rendering it a highly capable all-rounder that has been known about for many decades, but...
Safety beats in the heart of industrial gases. There are inherant hazards in our operations and a primary role of management is to minimise the risk that these hazards would escalate to become accidents. Some...
Thirty-six years ago, in ReykjavÍk, Gorbachev and Reagan had a historic meeting which heralded the beginning of the end of the cold war. Although discussions at that summit collapsed at the last minute, talks resumed...
To win the Kentucky Derby or the Grand National, you would want to be riding a thoroughbred racehorse. On the other hand, to cross the Sahara, enduring days without water, you might prefer to ride...
Just south of Munich is a suburb where Carl von Linde began his work to develop refrigeration cycles that would to keep the Bavarian beer cool in summer. That was more than a century ago.
Hydrogen energy is at a turning point. Start-ups of the past decade are transitioning from R&D driven organisations to embrace industrialisation. Independent players are partnering with power companies or industrial gases majors to bring their...
