Our solutions
Hydrogen & Syngas
With over 60 years of expertise, Air Liquide masters the entire hydrogen value chain. We deliver large-scale industrial solutions to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors and power heavy-duty mobility.
Mastering the complete value chain
Hydrogen and syngas are essential pillars of the energy transition, capable of decarbonizing complex industries such as refining, chemicals, and metallurgy. As a pioneer in the field, Air Liquide offers a unique, cross-functional portfolio that covers every link in the value chain—from production and gas processing to distribution, storage, and transportation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is hydrogen essential for the energy transition?
Hydrogen does not replace electrification; instead, it acts as a complement where electrification faces technical or economic limits. It is a critical solution for massive emission reductions in "hard-to-abate" sectors, such as heavy industries and intensive transport. Additionally, it brings flexibility to the energy system by enabling the storage and valorization of low-carbon energy at a large scale.
How does Air Liquide produce low-carbon and renewable hydrogen?
We support the decarbonization of industry and mobility through three primary production modes: water electrolysis (which emits no CO₂ and uses renewable or low-carbon electricity), steam reforming combined with our proprietary Cryocap™ carbon capture technology, and biomethane reforming.
What are the advantages of liquid hydrogen for heavy-duty mobility?
Liquid hydrogen offers a high energy density that increases vehicle range, alongside an optimal level of purity that is essential for maximizing the lifespan of fuel cells. Furthermore, the liquid format radically streamlines the supply chain—a single truck carrying 3.6 tonnes of liquid hydrogen is equivalent to 16 trucks of compressed gas.
