Reimagine What’s Possible

Air Products does a lot!

Possible projects may involve the following technologies: gasification, traditional/gray hydrogen (H2), blue H2, green H2, CO2/carbon capture, ammonia (NH3), NH3 cracking, cryogenic air separation (ASU), and renewable wind, solar, and/or hydroelectric power. This team coordinates all phases of projects including proposals, engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning/start-up.

Projects range in size from $150MM to $7BN and may be located anywhere within North America.
