Read MoreHide Full Article
Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. (APD - Free Report) will showcase how its industrial gases, such as hydrogen, can help the power industry generate a cleaner future and reach its decarbonization goals at POWERGEN International in Dallas, TX.
With more than eight decades of industrial gas experience and as the world's largest supplier of hydrogen, APD is well-positioned to be a decarbonization partner to the power generation industry as it transitions to sustainable energy.
Air Products is extending the potential of hydrogen-fired boilers by incorporating its burner technology into cutting-edge boiler systems. Early testing in Air Products' Clean Energy Lab revealed stable 100% hydrogen combustion, as well as the capacity to combine hydrogen with natural gas to reduce emissions.
