Air Liquide Hydrogen Plant in Bayport, Texas Dedicated to Clean Fuels
Wednesday, December 14, 2005
"The increasing demand for hydrogen is largely driven by the need for refiners to comply with the new environmental regulations being progressively introduced in the US and Europe. Reducing the sulfur content in automotive fuels and thus in engine polluting emissions requires large amounts of hydrogen. In this context, the new hydrogen-producing steam methane reformer (SMR) currently under construction in Bayport, Texas (announced in January 2005) will support the increasing need for hydrogen used to produce cleaner fuels by customers located along Air Liquide's Gulf Coast Pipeline System and to supply steam to customers from its steam system in Bayport, Texas. The 100 million standard cubic feet per day SMR will be the largest of the Group's global hydrogen producing assets." Source: chron.com
