Linde Signs $2 Billion Agreement for Clean Hydrogen Supply in Alberta
Key Ideas
  • Linde will invest over $2 billion to construct a large clean hydrogen production facility in Alberta, Canada, utilizing carbon capture technology.
  • The facility will supply clean hydrogen to Dow's net-zero emissions integrated ethylene cracker and derivatives site, as well as other industrial customers seeking decarbonization.
  • Upon completion in 2028, the complex will be the largest clean hydrogen production facility in Canada and one of the largest globally, contributing to significant carbon dioxide emissions reduction.
  • Dow's $6.5 billion Path2Zero project in Fort Saskatchewan aims to establish the world's first net-zero scope 1 and 2 emissions integrated ethylene cracker and derivatives facility, furthering decarbonization efforts.
Engineering firm Linde has entered a long-term agreement with Dow Inc to provide clean hydrogen for the Fort Saskatchewan Path2Zero Project in Alberta, Canada. Linde's investment of more than $2 billion will lead to the development of a large integrated clean hydrogen and atmospheric gases facility in the region. The facility will utilize autothermal reforming and Linde’s proprietary HISORP carbon capture technology to produce clean hydrogen, supporting Dow's net-zero emissions integrated ethylene cracker and derivatives site, as well as other industrial clients seeking to decarbonize operations. Linde's complex is projected to capture over two million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually, significantly aiding in the reduction of greenhouse gases. The partnership aligns with Dow's mission to decarbonize its Fort Saskatchewan site, with a final investment decision on the Path2Zero project made in November 2023. The initiative includes the construction of a new ethylene cracker, capacity expansion, and retrofitting existing facilities to achieve net-zero emissions. Dow plans to enhance capacity in phases, targeting significant economic growth while reducing global ethylene capacity emissions.
