Air Products and its subsidiary, Air Products Canada Ltd., in conjunction with the Government of Canada and the Province of Alberta in 2021 announced a multi-billion plan to build a landmark new net-zero hydrogen energy complex that will make Edmonton, Alberta the centre of western Canada's hydrogen economy and set the stage for Air Products to operate the most competitive and lowest-carbon-intensity hydrogen network in the world. 

The project begins with a previously announced transformative $1.3 billion (CAD) net-zero hydrogen production and liquefaction facility expected to be onstream in 2024. The project relies on an innovative combination of well-established technologies to jump-start an ambitious transition to carbon neutrality.

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.
