Linde Expanding Green Hydrogen Production in California
Linde, a global leader in industrial gases and engineering, is expanding its green hydrogen production capacity in Ontario, California. This move is part of the company's strategy to support customer growth, improve efficiency, and reduce emissions in the clean energy transition.
The new electrolyzer, one of several green hydrogen projects Linde is planning across the United States, is expected to start up in the second half of 2024. As the largest liquid hydrogen producer in the U.S., Linde is leveraging its technology and expertise to help California meet its ambitious climate goals.
Marcos Cuevas, Vice President West Region at Linde, stated, "We continue to see growing demand for green hydrogen as decarbonization in the mobility sector becomes a reality."
Linde serves a variety of end markets including chemicals & energy, food & beverage, electronics, healthcare, manufacturing, metals, and mining. The company's industrial gases are used in countless applications, from life-saving oxygen for hospitals to high-purity & specialty gases for electronics manufacturing, hydrogen for clean fuels, and more.
Thomas Emmert, the Linde employee involved in planning several 5-megawatt PEM electrolyzers in California, is also the overall project coordinator of IntegrH2ate. Linde's clean hydrogen projects are being implemented across various industries, not just limited to California.
With 2021 sales of $31 billion (€26 billion), Linde is actively helping its customers to decarbonize their operations with the latest hydrogen technologies. The company is doing this through its world-class engineering organization, key alliances, and ventures.
The new electrolyzer, when operational, is expected to produce enough green hydrogen to avoid up to 75,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions per year. This aligns with Linde's mission to support the clean energy transition and contribute to a more sustainable future.
In conclusion, Linde's expansion into green hydrogen production is a significant step towards a more sustainable future. By implementing clean hydrogen projects across a range of applications and industries, Linde is growing its established hydrogen business and helping its customers to decarbonize their operations.
