Shanghai Chemical Industry Park Industrial Gases, a subsidiary of Air Liquide, will invest more than 204 million dollars to build two hydrogen production units and related infrastructure in Shanghai Chemical Industry Park.

Two new hydrogen production units to be built by Air Liquide in Shanghai’s Chemical Industry Park are designed to bring significant environmental benefits. They are designed to replace current supply from a third party coal-based gasification unit, will be equipped with CO₂ capture and recycle technology and will be connected to Scipig existing local network. These two units will come in addition to two other hydrogen units and four air separation units that Scipig already operates in the Park.

Through more than 15 year-long contracts, these units will produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide for the supply to Covestro China and Shanghai Lianheng Isocyanate Company (SLIC, a joint-venture led by BASF and Huntsman) in the Park, as well as mobility, other industrial and electronics customers in the Yangtze River Delta megalopolis. The two units will have a total hydrogen (H₂) production capacity of around 70,000 Nm³/h. They will be equipped with units to capture and recycle carbon dioxide (CO₂) to contribute to the production of carbon monoxide (CO) for a total capacity of 28,000 Nm³/h.

Planned to be operational in phases, starting from the year end 2023, the two Steam Methane Reformers (SMR), will be designed and built by Air Liquide Engineering & Construction. They would not only replace a third party coal-based gasification unit, but will also be equipped with CO₂ recycle units and connected to the existing Scipig local network. This will avoid the emission of 350,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year, which is comparable to the equivalent electricity-related emissions of one million Chinese households. Connecting the production units to Scipig’s local pipeline network will further enhance the reliability and flexibility of gas supply.
