Linde to Invest in Canada's Largest Clean Hydrogen Production Facility
Key Ideas
  • Linde plans a $2 billion investment to build a hydrogen and atmospheric gases facility in Canada, supplying clean hydrogen for Dow's Fort Saskatchewan Path2Zero Project.
  • The project aims to capture over 2 million metric tons of CO2 emissions annually for sequestration, supporting Dow's decarbonization efforts and tripling ethylene and polyethylene capacity.
  • The facility, using Linde's technology and experience, is set to become Canada's largest clean hydrogen production site by 2028, marking Linde's largest single hydrogen investment.
  • Linde's project aligns with their strategy of high-quality, off-take secured projects, enabling the transition to a cleaner economy and supporting industrial customers in decarbonizing operations.
Industrial gas company Linde has announced a significant investment of over $2 billion in constructing a hydrogen and atmospheric gases facility in Canada. This move comes following a long-term supply agreement with Dow to provide clean hydrogen for the Fort Saskatchewan Path2Zero Project in Alberta, Canada. The project, set for completion in 2028, will involve capturing and sequestering over 2 million metric tons of CO2 emissions annually. Linde plans to utilize autothermal reforming and its HISORP carbon capture technology to facilitate clean hydrogen production and recovery from Dow's ethylene cracker off-gases. Dow's ambitious project includes various expansions and upgrades for decarbonization, with Linde also supplying clean hydrogen to other industrial customers seeking to reduce emissions. Furthermore, the article discusses other renewable energy developments. Fervo Energy's Cape Geothermal Power Project in Utah is progressing, with plans for multiple geothermal power plants and associated infrastructure. ProtonH2 in Canada is advancing its Project Apollo for hydrogen production, aiming to produce low-carbon intensity hydrogen efficiently. RW Energy and Nu:ionic Technologies are collaborating on hydrogen production and carbon capture projects in the U.S., while TES and ZEG Power in Germany are exploring green hydrogen production opportunities. These initiatives reflect a growing trend towards decarbonization and sustainable energy solutions in various regions.
