Air Liquide is enhancing its strategic U.S. Gulf Coast network to support new customers’ needs. The Group has secured new hydrogen supply agreements with two of the largest refiners in the U.S. and will leverage its existing infrastructure thanks to close to USD $50 million in targeted investments. These agreements will also significantly reinforce its presence in Texas.
To meet this increased demand, Air Liquide will invest in optimizing its existing hydrogen infrastructure. The total investment of nearly USD $50 million will allow strategic upgrades to its pipeline system and new compression and distribution equipment integrated directly into its existing network. This approach enables increased supply capabilities with minimal greenfield development, leveraging Air Liquide’s established assets efficiently.
Connected to the world’s largest hydrogen cavern in Spindletop, Texas — owned and operated by Air Liquide — the Group’s hydrogen network infrastructure in the U.S. Gulf Coast is uniquely positioned to address the critical supply demands of large industries. By leveraging these established assets, Air Liquide can efficiently extend its reach and capacity, ensuring reliable and flexible supply for its partners.
