Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Air Products and Chemicals Incorporated (NYSE:APD) (Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania) benefited from strong demand from Europe and China's manufacturing sectors in its fiscal fourth quarter, as well as growing hydrogen demand in North America. While the company was cautious in its 2025 outlook, it is optimistic the demand for clean hydrogen will continue. Industrial Info is tracking more than $13.5 billion worth of active and proposed projects from Air Products worldwide, including nearly $12 billion in the U.S. and Canada.

Air Products' heaviest investments across the U.S. and Canada are geared toward "blue" and "green" hydrogen-production projects. "Blue" facilities are designed to produce hydrogen with natural gas using carbon-capture and storage (CCS) technology to negate the effects of emissions, while "green" produces hydrogen using electrolyzers powered by renewable energy sources. Engineering work began over the summer on one of the largest such projects, a $7 billion blue hydrogen complex in Geismar, Louisiana.
The Geismar project is designed to produce about 750 million standard cubic feet per day of blue hydrogen. Most of the hydrogen would go into the Gulf Coast pipeline network, with the remainder used in the production of blue ammonia. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Chemical Processing Project and Plant databases can learn more in a detailed project report and plant profile.
Among Air Products' projects under construction is the US$970 million Net-Zero Energy Complex in Edmonton, Alberta, which is designed to produce about 44 million standard cubic feet per day of blue hydrogen using autothermal reformer technology. The project also features an 883,000-standard-cubic-foot-per-day liquefaction plant, an air-separator unit and a hydrogen-fueled power plant. Imperial Oil Limited (Calgary, Alberta) already signed a long-term contract to use the hydrogen as a feedstock in its US$560 million Strathcona Refinery in Edmonton. Subscribers can read detailed project reports on the blue hydrogen plant and refinery.
The clean hydrogen division also signed a 15-year agreement with TotalEnergies SE (NYSE:TTE) (Courbevoie, France) to supply 70,000 tons of green hydrogen annually, starting in 2030, to TotalEnergies' Northern European refineries.
In Air Products' core industrial gas business, the company announced plans during the third quarter to construct two new air-separation units at its air-separation plants in Conyers, Georgia, and Reidsville, North Carolina, to serve local merchant markets. Air Products plans to improve efficiency--and possibly increase capacity--by replacing an 800-ton-per-day unit at Conyers and a 400-ton-per-day unit at Reidsville, both of which produce oxygen, nitrogen and argon. Subscribers can read detailed reports on the Conyers and Reidsville projects.
Air Products Membrane Solutions, a division that develops and manufactures membrane separators for onsite gas generation, announced a series of investments at its manufacturing and logistics center in St. Louis, Missouri, driven by "growing product demand in biogas and hydrogen recovery applications, as well as customer needs for the use of nitrogen for the aerospace industry and cleaner fuels for the marine industry," the company said in a press release. This includes a $55 million expansion of the center, which could double to about 140,000 square feet; about $10 million in other additions to the center; and a $15 million warehouse addition.
Subscribers can learn more from a detailed plant profile and detailed reports on the expansion, additions and warehouse projects.
Air Products expects its capital expenditures for the full 2025 fiscal year to total between $4.5 billion and $5 billion. The company completed the divestiture of its liquefied natural gas (LNG) business in September and says the sale has no effect on its 2025 outlook.
