thyssenkrupp nucera Electrolyser for Air Products Hydrogen Plant

Air Products has selected thyssenkrupp nucera to supply its alkaline water electrolysis technology for a 10-ton-per-day green liquid hydrogen production facility in Casa Grande, Arizona. Under this contract, thyssenkrupp nucera will supply two of its standard modules for large-scale alkaline water electrolysis. The project activities have already started and the plant is expected to go into operation in 2023. The gaseous hydrogen is converted into liquid hydrogen using technology developed by Air Products. Air Products will distribute the product to the mobility market in California and other US locations through a terminal at the manufacturing facility.

The US plays a crucial role in thyssenkrupp nucera's hydrogen business strategy. With a location in Houston, Texas, thyssenkrupp nucera is expanding its corporate organization as a globally active and customer-oriented network. The establishment of long-term partnerships, such as with Air Products for the joint implementation of hydrogen projects, shows the company's high motivation to create an integrative business model with sustainable business cases.

California has taken steps through multiple regulations to efficiently decarbonize its transportation sector, the state's largest emissions sector, by transitioning to zero-emission vehicles. The state also has a goal for all transportation vehicles to be zero-emissions by 2035 and for heavy-duty vehicles to be zero-emissions by 2045. Hydrogen is an essential part of the decarbonization of the transport sector. Hydrogen fuel cells are becoming increasingly important compared to batteries in heavy-duty traffic, as they are characterized by shorter refueling times, greater range and higher payloads, and also work better under extreme climatic conditions.

thyssenkrupp nucera offers world-leading technologies for highly efficient electrolysis plants. The company - a joint venture with Industrie De Nora - has extensive know-how in the design, procurement and construction of electrochemical plants. The track record includes more than 600 successfully installed projects with a total capacity of more than 10 gigawatts. With the water electrolysis technology to generate green hydrogen, thyssenkrupp nucera creates innovative solutions on an industrial scale for green value chains and a decarbonized industry - a big step towards climate neutrality.
