Air Liquide Engineering & Construction reposted this
Last week, we got exciting news for the Group and Air Liquide Engineering & Construction teams! Air Liquide announced that it is selected to invest up to 850 million dollars to build, own and operate four Large Modular Air separation units as well as related infrastructure, in the framework of a long-term binding agreement with ExxonMobil for its planned low-carbon hydrogen project in Baytown, Texas. Upon final investment decision, this major project would mark the largest industrial investment in the history of the Air Liquide Group, enabling Air Liquide to increase its oxygen production capacity by 50% in Texas! Some details about the project: The units will be able to supply a record volume of 9,000 metric tons per day of oxygen and 6,500 metric tons per day of nitrogen to support the production of ExxonMobil. Amongst other uses, it will be used to synthesize low-carbon hydrogen into low-carbon ammonia as a source of low-carbon energy for the export market. They provide a step-change both in terms of production output and energy consumption optimization, as they use 25% less electricity to make each tonne of oxygen. In addition, the plants are planned to be primarily powered by renewable and low-carbon electricity, further reducing the carbon footprint of the project. Concretely, it represents approximately 20,000 cubic meters of concrete, 5km of pipes and 300 km of power and control cables I would like to sincerely thank the Air Liquide Engineering & Construction teams who worked hand in hand with the Air Liquide teams and contributed to this unprecedented milestone by developing the technology solution and working on project execution. It is another example of how, together as one team, we can actively support our customers and contribute to the decarbonization of the industry. This is just the beginning, but together, we are building a low-carbon future for all! https://lnkd.in/dvjmKg_n
