Linde officially has opened its new Pilot Reformer research facility at Pullach near Munich, Linde’s largest location worldwide. The reformer will be used to refine steam reforming technology for the production of synthesis gas — a mixture consisting of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The carbon feedstock for synthesis gas can be in the form of natural gas, liquid petroleum gas, naphtha or even carbon dioxide.

Technip FMC had supplied steam reforming technology and had also undertaken EPC of the 40 million standard cubic feet-per-day hydrogen plant which is now in full operation.

The new facility will supply carbon monoxide and hydrogen to Huntsman’s Geismar operations. The project is also expected to be connected to the world’s largest hydrogen pipeline and network system.

Technip supplies substantial equipment for the hydrogen train of Petronas Rapid refinery and petrochemical project: The French technology experts will deliver three hydrogen reformers with a combined capacity of 344,500 Nm3/h.

Praxair’s Southeast Louisiana pipeline network is supplying hydrogen and is being used by Marathon Petroleum in an ultra-low-sulfur diesel project.

Air Liquide is expected to invest 99 million dollars for the construction of a ‘new generation’ hydrogen production unit.

Shell has published a report, outlining its strategy for a transition to lower-carbon energy. The Shell Energy Transition Report describes its understanding of the transition and what it means for the company.

Following the opening of the world-scale ammonia plant in Freeport, Praxair has started to supply hydrogen and nitrogen to Yara Freeport LLC. The plant, which is a joint venture between Yara International and BASF, has a capacity of 750,000 metric tons per year.

Yara International ASA and BASF opened a new world-scale ammonia plant in Freeport, USA. The $ 600-million facility uses production process, based on by-product hydrogen instead of natural gas.
