Air Products, AES Team Up for Mega Green Hydrogen Facility in Texas

December 12, 2022--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Wilbarger County, Texas, will be home to what its developers tout as the largest green hydrogen production facility in the U.S. to date if Air Products (NYSE:APD) (Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania) and The AES Corporation (NYSE:AES) (Arlington, Virginia) have their way.

Propelled by tax incentives contained in the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the industrial gases giant and power company announced joint plans on Thursday to invest about $4 billion to build, own and operate the facility in north Texas. The project includes 1.4 gigawatts (GW) of wind and solar power generation, along with electrolyser capacity capable of producing more than 200 metric tons per day of green hydrogen. Commercial operations would begin in 2027.
