Air Products is gearing up to install electric vehicle charging stations in Massena as part of their green hydrogen facility project on Pontoon Bridge Road. The company received approvals from both the village and town boards to proceed with the installation. This move is in alignment with their commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as evidenced by their negotiations with the Department of Environmental Conservation. The charging stations will contribute to the town's infrastructure and revenue, with the rates for using them expected to differ from standard power purchases. The green hydrogen facility, set to occupy 84.4 acres of land, aims to produce up to 35 metric tons of green hydrogen daily using renewable power from the New York Power Authority. The project involves an investment of approximately $500 million, with construction scheduled for completion by 2027. The facility's operations will require a significant amount of water, leading to plans to purchase water from the village of Massena. Air Products' construction timeline aims for completion by the third quarter of 2026, with the facility expected to be operational by the first quarter of 2027. The company's proactive approach to environmental sustainability, economic growth, and community engagement marks a positive step towards a greener energy transition in Massena.
