National Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Day Approaches
LEHIGH
VALLEY, Pa., Oct. 5, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Air Products' (NYSE:APD) Chairman, President
and Chief Executive Officer, Seifi
Ghasemi, will share Air Products' vision for a global
hydrogen economy during a fireside chat with David Livingston, Senior Advisor, Office of the
Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, U.S. Department of State,
at 2:45 p.m. (ET) on Monday, October
10 at the 2nd Hydrogen Americas Summit at the Omni
Shoreham Hotel in Washington,
D.C.
"If the world is to truly transition to a cleaner, sustainable
energy future, hydrogen must play a significant role. Hydrogen is
the best solution to address emissions from hard to abate sectors
such as heavy-duty transportation and heavy industry, where
electrification is not feasible or practical," said Ghasemi. "Air
Products has already committed more than $11
billion and expects to commit at least an additional
$4 billion through 2027 to clean
energy megaprojects around the world to ensure that when businesses
or governments want to make the switch to clean energy, they know
they have a secure, reliable and consistent option."
Hosted by the Sustainable Energy Council and the U.S. Department
of Energy, the Summit is a gathering of government
representatives, hydrogen and energy stakeholders, service
providers and end-users to identify opportunities and get insights
into the latest projects and policy developments to move the
industry forward.
In addition to Ghasemi's fireside chat, Air Products' Global
Vice President, Hydrogen for Mobility, Eric
Guter, will participate in a panel discussion titled
"Commercial Opportunities for Clean Hydrogen in Decarbonizing Hard
to Abate Sectors," at 4:15 p.m. (ET) on
Monday, Oct. 10.
Air Products also will participate in Hydrogen North America 2022, on October 12-13 at the Hilton Houston – Greenway
Plaza in Houston, Texas. There,
Guter will take part in a fireside chat on "Executing Commercial
Scale Decarbonized Hydrogen Projects," at 2
p.m. CT/3 p.m. ET on
Wednesday, October 12.
"Speed is the key to help the world meet its climate change
goals. Every ton of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions
captured or replaced today will have an exponential benefit in the
years to come. World-scale projects are needed to ensure industry
has access to the clean fuels of the future," said Guter. "Air
Products has announced several such projects, including a
$4.5 billion clean energy complex in
Louisiana to produce low-carbon
blue hydrogen alongside the world's largest carbon capture for
sequestration project."
Hydrogen North America
attendees are invited to stop by Air Products' booth on the exhibit
floor to learn how Air Products can support their company's
sustainability journey and learn more about Air Products' hydrogen
for mobility solutions and the company's clean energy projects
including its net-zero hydrogen energy complex in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and its zero-carbon
liquid hydrogen facility in Casa Grande,
Arizona.
Both events occur shortly after National Hydrogen & Fuel
Cell Day, which is October 8. Now in
its 8th year, National Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Day was
created to help raise awareness of hydrogen as a clean energy
technology. October 8 (10/8) was
chosen in reference to the atomic weight of hydrogen (1.008).
As the world's largest hydrogen producer, Air Products has
experience across the full value chain for hydrogen and is driving
sustainable growth by building, owning and operating the world's
largest production, gasification, carbon capture, transportation
and fueling projects related to hydrogen. The company's
technologies are used in over 1.5 million refuelings annually
across 20 countries. With over 60 years of global hydrogen
experience operating in over 50 countries, Air Products has the
proven capability and know-how to make hydrogen through all
available production methods and to distribute this increasingly
important emission-free fuel safely, reliably, and
economically.
