thyssenkrupp Uhde Chlorine Engineers has bagged a contract from Air Products to supply a mega electrolysis plant to the green hydrogen project at NEOM in Saudi Arabia. The company is expected to engineer, procure and fabricate the plant based on its 20 MW alkaline water electrolysis module.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is characterised by its high availability at competitive conditions and a lower emission burden compared to the combustion of coal and oil. As it is highly flammable, explosion protection must be guaranteed throughout the entire value chain. R. Stahl supports this sector with explosion-protected products and systems for all process steps from natural gas extraction to liquefaction and transport, all the way through to reconversion and supply.
