A world premiere
新电解柜位于Bécancour的Air Liquide的位点，具有四个不同的单位，使用PEM（Protolexchange膜）技术总共产生20兆瓦的电力。这是目前在世界上运营的最大单位。具体而言，PEM电解器使得可以使用可再生技术产生的电力产生水电解的氢。betway旗舰版下载这种令人印象深刻的突破表明，液化空气揭示了旨在在工业规模上产生低碳氢的有前途的技术解决方案的能力。该网站还包括用于下一代电解槽的试验台，现在是液化空气的卫星Campus Innovationsite in Delaware.
Unprecedented production capacity...
Powered by 99% renewable energy from Hydro-Québec, this unit can produce over 8.2 metric tons of low-carbon hydrogen per day. That is enough to fuel over 2,000 cars, 16,000 forklifts, 275 buses, or 230 large trucks. This production capacity makes it possible to supply the Group's North American customers with decarbonized, high-purity hydrogen and help reduce their carbon footprint.
...To meet the growing demand for low-carbon hydrogen
Opened in 1987, the Canada Air Liquide factory in Bécancour produces hydrogen gas and liquid hydrogen for industrial customers in Canada and the United States. With the construction of the new electrolyzer, the company's facilities in Quebec have increased their hydrogen production capacity by 50%, allowing them to respond to the growing demand for low-carbon hydrogen in the North American market, whether for industrial uses or mobility purposes.
Reducing carbon intensity
Compared to a traditional hydrogen production process, this new production unit will prevent the release of nearly 27,000 metric tons of CO2每年，或相当于每年约10,000辆汽车的排放量。通过这种大规模项目，空气液化空气旨在为2030年生产100％低碳或可再生氢以获得100％的低碳或可再生氢。它还证实了其长期承诺，以概括氢作为清洁能量载体和达到的使用沿着低碳社会的路径的另一个里程碑。
A super-sized project completed in record time
The PEM electrolyzer in Bécancour would not have been possible without an exceptional mobilization of human resources. Through 40,000 hours of work on the build site and 20,000 hours of engineering, project management, safety inspection, and supervision, the project was made operational in under two years.
