LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa., Nov. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Air Products' (NYSE:APD) Eric Guter, vice president, hydrogen for mobility solutions, will take part in a keynote conversation on hydrogen's role in the clean energy transition at 1:50 p.m. PT on Thursday, November 18 at CoMotion LA being held at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles, California.

Guter will join CoMotion's Chief Executive Officer John Rossant to discuss how Air Products is working to create innovative solutions to help speed the energy transition.

"Sustainability is our growth strategy at Air Products. We have made significant investments to help build the hydrogen economy. The journey is well underway.

Hydrogen is an essential part of decarbonizing the transportation sector. Hydrogen fuel cells are gaining momentum as the technology of choice compared to batteries in heavy-duty applications due to faster refuel times, longer range, and larger payloads, while performing better in extreme climate conditions. Hydrogen as a transportation fuel most closely mirrors the traditional transportation fuel experience. Air Products works across all facets of the hydrogen value chain, including production, distribution, storage, and dispensing and has been a pioneer in hydrogen fueling for decades. As global leader in hydrogen production, Air Products has hands-on operating experience in over 250 hydrogen fueling station projects in 20 countries, and the company's technologies are used in over 1.5 million fueling operations annually.
