Linde (LIN) to Build Electrolyzer to Boost Hydrogen Production
Read MoreHide Full Article
Linde plc (LIN - Free Report) plans to develop a 35-megawatt (MW) Proton Exchange Membrane electrolyzer to produce green hydrogen in New York.
The facility will be the world’s largest electrolyzer to be installed by Linde. It is likely to increase the company’s green liquid hydrogen production capacity in the United States more than twice.
Linde is currently one of the leading hydrogen producers globally. The latest project will allow it to develop, own and operate the electrolyzer, and use hydroelectric power to produce green liquid hydrogen. The facility is expected to commence operations in 2025.
Linde will utilize its existing liquefier and distribution infrastructure to supply customers. The latest project is the first of several electrolyzers the company plans to develop in the United States to address the green liquid hydrogen demand across the country.
The facility will produce green hydrogen fuel by electrolysis, wherein electric current is used to convert water into oxygen and hydrogen. Per the U.S. Department of Energy, the fuel can be used in cars, houses and portable power, among other applications.
As a low-carbon energy source, hydrogen fuel cells are popular alternatives among climate supporters. This is because these work through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen in the air to generate clean electricity, with water and heat as byproducts.
The additional capacity Linde creates will increase product availability at times of growing demand across different sectors, including electronics and manufacturing. The project aims to support the rising demand and drive to contribute to the green hydrogen market.
