Air Liquide completes hydrogen fuelling project for Shell Hydrogen

16 December 2009

Gas developer Air Liquide has completed installing a fuelling system for Shell Hydrogen in the Bronx, New York.

In addition to the fuelling equipment, Air Liquide is also supplying the hydrogen gas and liquid nitrogen required for operations. The station will provide fuelling capability in support of General Motors’ project driveway vehicles and serve as a site in the network being developed in New York in anticipation of other auto manufacturers introducing fuel cell vehicles to the area. Air Liquide’s technology is also used at a station in Ardsley, New York.

Air Liquide has also provided fuelling systems in California, Delaware, and in many countries around the world. Air Liquide’s hydrogen fueling systems are built in the US with proprietary engineering designs from Air Liquide Advanced Technologies US.

Michael Graff, a member of Air Liquide’s executive committee and president and CEO of American Air Liquide Holdings, said, ‘Air Liquide’s innovative hydrogen technologies are powering vehicles and equipment while protecting the environment. With more than 40 years of experience in hydrogen and numerous related patents, Air Liquide is helping to build the hydrogen energy infrastructure, to demonstrate its benefits to society and prepare for future markets.’

Air Liquide is taking part in demonstration projects that aim to develop and test hydrogen energy and help it to promote its social acceptance. Over the last four years, the company has designed, built and commissioned more than 40 stations which are fuelling passenger vehicles, buses and forklift trucks as well as stationary equipment in Europe, Canada and the Pacific Rim.

Listed on the Paris Euronext stock exchange, Air Liquide produces gases for industry, health and the environment, and is present in over 75 countries. In 2008, the group’s revenues amounted to €13.1bn, of which almost 80 per cent were earned outside France.
