Air Products has chosen thyssenkrupp nucera to supply alkaline water electrolysis technology for a 10 metric ton per day facility in Casa Grande, Arizona, that will produce green liquid hydrogen.
Thyssenkrupp nucera will deliver two large-scale alkaline water electrolysis standard modules under this contract. The project has started, and the facility is expected to be operational in 2023. Using Air Products’ proprietary technology, gaseous hydrogen will be converted to liquid hydrogen. The manufacturing facility will also include a distribution terminal for Air Products, which will distribute the product to the mobility market in California and other parts of the United States.
“The United States will be an important frontrunner for showcasing the direct link between green hydrogen production and demand centers, creating a strong self-sustaining domestic hydrogen market. Arizona offers the perfect conditions for low-price renewable energy whereas California has set the right regulations to massively decarbonize their transportation sector”, says Dr. Christoph Noeres, Head of Green Hydrogen at thyssenkrupp nucera. “Heavy duty transportation is a feasible and cost-efficient business case for green hydrogen application already today if the renewable power prices are low.”
