US-based Air Products is going big on blue hydrogen: US-based gas supplier Air Products is planning to build a CO2 storage and treatment plant at its existing hydrogen facility in Rotterdam as part of efforts to develop the EU’s largest blue hydrogen production unit, according to a statement. The planned carbon capture plant — which is expected to come online in 2026 — would also serve Exxon Mobil’s Rotterdam refinery and other clients in Air Products’ hydrogen pipeline network system, the statement notes. Air Products — which owns a 33.3% stake in Neom’s USD 8.4 bn green hydrogen plant — also plans to export the green fuels it produces from its KSA plant to the EU through an exclusive long-term offtake agreement with Acwa Power and Neom.
