Interested in hydrogen for your application?
Hydrogen (H₂)
The cleanest burning and most efficient fuel
Hydrogen exists naturally on Earth but not in large quantities in its elemental form and so is produced industrially in several ways.
The most common production methods are:
- Steam-methane reforming (SMR) - to produce fossil-based or low-carbon hydrogen
- Electrolysis - to produce renewable hydrogen
Ask the Expert
“My process requires high pressure hydrogen, what's the most efficient method of supply?”
Our engineers can easily assess your operation and recommend the optimal supply mode, but Air Products is uniquely positioned to offer our patented Cryogenic Hydrogen Compression (CHC) technology for increased efficiency typically in the 50,000 to 1 million scf/day range.
Supply Options
Air Products can help you determine the most economical supply option for your particular application and geographic location. Industrial gases are typically provided in gaseous and liquid form through a variety of supply systems
APEX Temporary Emergency Gas Services
Short-term or emergency industrial gas supply for start-ups, peak demand periods, planned or unplanned maintenance activities, and plant or pipeline turnarounds.
Bulk Supply
Delivered by truck and stored on your site either as a liquid in cryogenic tanks or as a gas in high-pressure tubes based on your volume, desired pressure, purity level, flow rate, and operating pattern.
Cylinders & Hard Goods
The traditional solution for low-volume gas supply. Cylinders can be supplied in a full range of sizes, pressures and gas purities for a range of gases and gas mixtures. Search our extensive network of distributors in the U.S. and parts of Canada for your cylinder and hard goods supply needs.
