Air Products joint venture with Lu'An

World-class Innovation

Air Products pioneered the “on-site” concept of producing and selling industrial gases in 1940. That revolutionary idea not only launched our company, it launched the industrial gas industry we know today. 

Since then, we have built a reputation for our innovative culture, operational excellence, and commitment to safety and the environment. Tomorrow’s challenges demand diverse thinking, applications and mega-project expertise, and a collaborative spirit. Our passionate and talented employees are rising to this challenge every day by creating innovative solutions that benefit our customers and our world.

World’s Largest Carbon Capture for Sequestration Facility

Air Products will invest $4.5B to build-own-operate the world’s largest blue hydrogen production facility, producing over 750 MMSCFD of blue hydrogen in Louisiana, USA. A portion of the blue hydrogen will be compressed and supplied to customers by our U.S. Gulf Coast pipeline network; the balance will be used to make blue ammonia that will be transported around the world and converted back to blue hydrogen for transportation and other markets.

The megaproject will also capture over five million metric tons per year of CO₂, making it the largest carbon capture for sequestration facility in the world. Numerous studies have shown that Louisiana’s geology is some of the best in the world for permanent geologic sequestration.

The project is expected to be operational in 2026. 

Excellence in Large Project Execution Enabled by Innovation

Our team is continuously proving its ability to execute the largest and most complex projects in the history of Air Products, successfully completing megaprojects around the world with a strong focus on safety and performance.

Process Monitoring and Control

Our advanced monitoring, process control and advising services leverage sensor development, the Industrial Internet of Things and data analytics to help customers run their processes most efficiently and reduce unplanned downtime.

Finding New Sources of Helium

Our one-of-a-kind helium production facility located in Doe Canyon, Colorado, uses cutting edge technology, combined with world-class operations, to extract and produce helium. Air Products extracts the helium from the gas stream and returns the carbon dioxide to Kinder Morgan CO2 for its intended enhanced oil recovery (EOR) use. Kinder Morgan CO2 supplies this carbon dioxide to the Permian Basin in West Texas, where it is used for EOR.   

Air Products' Doe Canyon helium production facility is the only plant in the world extracting helium from a gas stream composed primarily of carbon dioxide. The helium from this facility strengthens and diversifies our helium supply chain to further enable the reliable delivery of product to our customers around the world.

Our Digital Strategy

The innovative use of data and technology is fundamental to our long-term competitiveness. We use them as an engine to drive safety, simplicity, speed and self-confidence, and to achieve our company goals. Here are just a few examples of how we are advancing the use of data and technology.
