The commitment for a high-potential, secure and environmentally-
Air Liquide, an international group.
A half-century of hydrogen supply chain expertise.
World co-leader in industrial andmedical gases, the Air Liquide
group is present in more than 70 countries. Founded in 1902, Air Liquide hasmore than 36,000 employeesworldwide , generates more than 10 billion euros in revenue and operates 8 Research andDevelopment centers.Hydrogen, a clean energy carrier Hydrogen can be produced from a wide variety of sources.
Hydrogen is one of the energy
solutions of the future, from both an environmental and economical
point of view.
Used in a
fuel cell, it offers a tremendous potential for the production of clean, silent energy
with high efficiency.
Air Liquide is present throughout the entire hydrogen “chain”,
designing innovative solutions for the production, storage, distribution
and supply of hydrogen to
fuel cells.
Air Liquide currently operates 200 hydrogen production units (50 of which are large-capacityfacilities) and the largest hydrogenpipeline network (1,700 km) in the world.
Air Liquide's presence throughout the world. 8 R&D Centers, including 4 in France. THREE HYDROGEN DISTRIBUTIONMETHODS HYDROGEN ENERGY INNOVATIONHydrogen stations: Piping:
The largest hydrogen
transport pipeline network
in the world. Northern Europe: nearly
1,100 km.
United States: Texas and
Louisiana, approximately
600 km. Air Liquide designs, builds andoperates high pressure hydrogen
service stations (350 and 700 bar)
in Madrid, Kawasaki, Luxembourg,
Singapore, and Sassenage… Large volume Storage:
Air Liquide develops all kinds of storage tanks for high pressure
gaseous hydrogen (350 to 700 bar)
and for liquid hydrogen at very low
temperature (- 253°C). Trucks:
In compressed gas or liquid form (in isothermal
tanks). More than
a thousand
vehicles in Europe
and North
America. Connecting systems
Clip’On patented high pressure
“Plug and Play” hydrogen cartridge
system integrates all gas components
(regulator, safety and connecting
components) and allows an empty
cartridge to be exchanged with a full one. H2 Medium volume Cylinders:
Hundreds of thousands of compressed gas
cylinders of variable
capacity throughout the world. Fuel cell:
Axane has been designing and producing innovative PEM type
fuel cell systems since 2001. Small volume 2
