Air Liquide: hydrogen production for TotalEnergies

(CercleFinance.com) - Air Liquide announces a renewable hydrogen production project at La Mède (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region).


Air Liquide will supply the hydrogen needs of TotalEnergie's biorefinery. This project will contribute to the emergence of a new renewable hydrogen ecosystem in the Fos-sur-Mer area, a major industrial basin for Air Liquide in France.

Under a long-term contract, Air Liquide will build, own and operate a new hydrogen production unit with a capacity of 25,000 tonnes per year at TotalEnergies' La Mède site.

It will produce renewable hydrogen from recycled biogenic co-products from the TotalEnergies biorefinery, instead of using fossil hydrocarbons as feedstock.

The renewable hydrogen thus produced will be used mainly by the biorefinery for the production of biofuels and Sustainable Air Fuels (SAF).

This renewable hydrogen production unit, the largest on the La Mède industrial platform, would represent an investment of over E80m for Air Liquide.
