Air Products has announced the signing of a long-term supply contract with Monsanto Company, to build a new world-scale hydrogen production plant at Monsanto’s Luling, Louisiana Roundup® facility.
Air Products will build a steam methane reformer (SMR) producing over 100 million standard cubic feet per day of hydrogen.
The SMR will be connected to Air Products’ East Gulf Coast pipeline network, which supplies refineries with hydrogen needed to make cleaner burning transportation fuels, in addition to meeting the hydrogen needs of the local petrochemical industry.
In addition, the facility will produce additional hydrogen via a clean-up of a hydrogen-rich off-gas feed coming from Monsanto. Monsanto will use steam from Air Products’ SMR process to benefit its Roundup® production plant.
