On August 27, Linde revealed plans to construct a $2 billion clean hydrogen and atmosphere gases facility in Fort Saskatchewan, Canada, to support Dow's Path2Zero complex. The project, expected to commence in 2025, aims to create 750 temporary construction roles and 60 permanent jobs by 2028. Linde's CEO, Sanjiv Lamba, highlighted the venture as a step towards a more sustainable future, with a focus on developing high-quality projects with secure off-take. Dow's chair and CEO, Jim Fitterling, emphasized the importance of partnerships to drive decarbonization and growth. The collaboration between Linde and Dow will supply clean hydrogen to aid Dow's net-zero emissions integrated ethylene cracker and derivatives site. The new facility will utilize advanced technologies for carbon capture and hydrogen recovery, enabling the capture of over two million metric tons of CO2 yearly. This initiative reinforces Fort Saskatchewan's position as a sustainable industrial development leader, generating economic opportunities and promoting environmental responsibility. Government officials expressed enthusiasm, stating that the facility will play a crucial role in supporting clean energy in Alberta and showcasing the province's business-friendly policies that attract job-creating investments.
