液化空气公司在加拿大成立了世界上最大的低碳氢膜生产装置
液化空气公司已建成世界上最大的质子交换膜电解槽。该装置由可再生能源提供，目前在魁北克省贝坎库每天生产高达8.2吨的低碳氢气。通过这一大规模投资，该集团确认了其对氢能市场的长期承诺以及成为低碳氢气供应主要参与者的雄心。
The new 20 MW PEM electrolyser, equipped with Cummins[1]technology, is the largest operating unit of its kind in the world and will help meet the不断增长的低碳氢气需求in North America. Bécancour's proximity to the main industrial markets in Canada and the United States will help ensure their supply of low-carbon hydrogenfor industrial use and mobility. The commissioning of this电解装置increases by 50%the capacity of Air Liquide's Bécancour hydrogen production complex.
Compared to the traditional hydrogen production process, this new production unit will avoid the emission of around27,000 tonnes of CO2 per year,which is equivalent to the emissions of 10,000 cars per year. The choice of Bécancouris based on two attributes of the site: the access to abundant renewable powerfrom Hydro-Québec andthe proximity to the hydrogen mobility market in the northeast of the continent.
Susan Ellerbusch,CEO, Air Liquide North America and Group Executive Committee Member:
“The fight against climate change is at the heart of the Air Liquide Group's strategy. The inauguration of the Bécancour site in Canada marks an important step in the implementation of this strategy. With this world’s first, Air Liquide confirms its commitment to the production of low-carbon hydrogen on an industrial scale and its ability to effectively deploy the related technological solutions. Hydrogen will play a key role in the energy transition and the emergence of a low-carbon society.”
In the past 50 years, Air Liquide has developed unique expertise enabling it to master the entire hydrogen supply chain, from production and storage to distribution and the development of applications for end users, thus contributing to the widespread use of hydrogen as a clean energy source, for mobility in particular. Air Liquide has designed and installed more than 120 stations around the world to date. Hydrogen is an alternative to meet the challenge of clean transportation and thus contributes to the improvement of air quality. Used in a fuel cell, hydrogen combines with oxygen in the air to produce electricity, emitting only water. It does not generate any pollution at the point of use: zero greenhouse gases, zero particles and zero noise. Hydrogen provides a concrete response to the challenges posed by sustainable mobility and local pollution in urban areas.
液化空气集团1911年在加拿大开始了活动and now has a team of more than 2,500 employees working to serve more than 200,000 customers and patients across Canada. In all of the country’s key industrial regions from coast to coast, Air Liquide offers innovative solutions — gas, equipment and services — in a wide variety of sectors: aeronautics, automotive, agri-food industries, chemical, metallurgy, metal fabrication, mining, oil and gas and healthcare.
