Since Air Products (www.airproducts.com) first began locating its industrial gas facilities adjacent to its customers in the 1940s, the concept of “on-site” has typically been associated with bulk gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, or hydrogen. Now, however, for the first time,...
The demand for hydrogen (H2) is rapidly increasing in chemical and petrochemical industries due to the continued growth in demand for low sulfur fuels and to support unconventional oil sands development. Increased demand for hydrogen, while good for the industrial gas...
Hydrogen has been championed for decades as a clean alternative energy carrier to fossil fuels for transportation, as well as for other uses, because it is so “abundant,” and because when it is converted into energy, water is the only...
Hydrogen (H2), carbon monoxide (CO), and syngas (mixture of both H2 and CO) are used in a variety of industrial sectors. The largest applications of these industrial gases are in refining and petrochemicals. Tonnage quantities of hydrogen are used for...
More than 1,000 people are expected to attend this year’s Fuel Cell & Hydrogen Energy Conference (formerly the National Hydrogen Association Conference & Expo) which will be held in the Washington D.C. area, February 13–16, 2011. This event, like the NHA...
Memphis-based nexAir (www.nexair. com) has been a leader in the distribution of atmospheric gases and welding supplies since its founding in 1940. A family-owned and operated business now being led by a third generation, nexAir is one of the largest distributors...
The language is changing in hydrogen and fuel cell circles these days. That was evident at the NHA Hydrogen Conference & Expo held May 3–6, 2010, in Long Beach CA, where “ifs” were largely replaced by “whens” as industry stakeholders and...
The hydrogen market is defined by two distinct segments: the large scale Onsite/ Pipeline (OSP) market and Merchant market. Each segment has unique market drivers and economics of hydrogen supply. The OSP market supplies large quantities of hydrogen to segments such...
If you’ve been paying attention to the interest in everything green, you’ve probably noticed the push to put cars into showrooms that don’t pollute the planet, don’t require gasoline, and don’t cost an arm and a leg. Right now, there...
