Linde's $2 Billion Investment: Revolutionizing Clean Hydrogen Production in Alberta
Key Ideas
  • Linde announced a $2 billion investment to build a clean hydrogen and atmospheric gases facility in Alberta, aiming to supply Dow's Fort Saskatchewan Path2Zero project.
  • The facility will use autothermal reforming and Linde's proprietary carbon capture technology to produce clean hydrogen, expecting to capture over 2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually.
  • Upon completion in 2028, it will be the largest clean hydrogen production facility in Canada, supporting Dow and other industrial customers in decarbonizing their operations.
  • The project will create 750 temporary construction jobs and 60 permanent jobs, contributing to Alberta's hydrogen industry development and environmental efforts.
Linde, an industrial gases company, has unveiled a groundbreaking $2 billion investment plan to construct a world-scale integrated clean hydrogen and atmospheric gases facility in Alberta. This initiative stems from a long-term agreement with Dow to supply clean hydrogen for the Fort Saskatchewan Path2Zero project. The facility will utilize autothermal reforming and Linde's HISORP carbon capture technology to produce clean hydrogen and capture over 2 million metric tons of CO2 annually, significantly supporting environmental sustainability. Upon its completion in 2028, the Alberta complex will be Canada's largest clean hydrogen production facility and one of the global leaders in the sector. The project not only signifies Linde's substantial commitment to clean energy but also reflects the company's strategic focus on developing high-quality projects with secured off-take agreements. Linde's collaboration with Dow and other industrial partners highlights a collective effort to transition towards a cleaner economy. This move aligns with Dow's business strategy to decarbonize assets and drive growth while achieving higher shareholder returns. Moreover, the project's economic impact is notable, with expectations to create 750 temporary construction jobs and sustain 60 permanent jobs. These employment opportunities contribute to Alberta's economic growth and underscore the province's dedication to advancing its hydrogen industry. The partnership between Linde, Dow, and governmental bodies showcases a shared commitment to sustainable development and underscores the potential for clean hydrogen to revolutionize industrial operations and reduce carbon emissions.
