Air Products en Technip vieren dit jaar hun twintigjarige samenwerking. De alliantie, die de beide bedrijven sloten, tekende in die periode voor de bouw van 35 waterstoffabrieken in elf landen, waarin stoom en methaan omgezet worden naar waterstof. Per uur wordt in al die installaties 2,2 miljoen kubieke meter waterstof geproduceerd. Dat is meer dan 1,8 miljoen ton waterstof per jaar. De alliantie was een reactie op de grote vraag naar waterstof bij olieraffinaderijen, die het element gebruiken bij de productie van schone brandstoffen.

Het samenwerkingsverband tussen Air Products en Technip startte in 1992 toen er in

Air Liquide has just signed a partnership agreement with the CEA (Commission for atomic energy and alternative energies in France) aiming to develop a second generation biofuel production pilot unit in France.

As part of this partnership, the CEA will develop a chain of processes – on the Bure (Meuse) - Saudron (Haute-Marne) site, and in the CEA-Grenoble centre – for grinding, pressurising, measuring, and transporting solid biomass (wood in particular) in order to inject it into a burner, with a view to minimising the energy used for this pre-processing.

For this project, Air Liquide will develop a new combustion technology that

April 18, 2013 Lehigh Valley, Pa.

Air Products (NYSE: APD), the global leader in helium production, continues to take actions to improve future helium supply reliability for its customers. Today Air Products announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Russia-based Gazprom Export LLC that confirms Air Products’ long-term plans to purchase helium from Gazprom.

Air Liquide announces an equity investment in the Australian company HYDREXIA through its subsidiary ALIAD, which is dedicated to investments in technology start-ups.

Founded in 2006 and based in Brisbane, Australia, HYDREXIA is a spin-off of the University of Queensland. In 7 years, this young and innovative company has developed effective and reliable hydrogen storage technology using a new magnesium alloy in a solid form called “hydride”.

The hydrogen storage in the form of magnesium hydrides is a technology that has been known since 1975, with its industrialization and commercialization being slowed down until now because of the high production cost.

Les deux équipiers fournissent plus de 2,2millions de m3/heure d’hydrogène pour la production de carburants propres.
