Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The growing demand for industrial gases in the U.S. can be seen across multiple end markets, particularly in the transportation, refining and electronics industries. Multiple big-name producers are expanding their production capacities to supply these customers--and not just in the U.S. Gulf Coast, often seen as the nation's industrial gas capitol. Industrial Info is tracking more than $13.4 billion worth of U.S. industrial gas projects that are set to begin construction in the fourth quarter, more than half of which is attributed to a single project in Louisiana.

Air Products and Chemicals Incorporated (NYSE:APD) (Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania) is responsible for the quarter's banner project, the $7 billion blue hydrogen complex in Geismar, Louisiana. The company expects to produce about 750 million standard cubic feet per day of blue hydrogen, most of which will go into the Gulf Coast hydrogen pipeline network; the remainder is to be used in the production of blue ammonia. Construction is expected to last about three years.

"Blue" facilities are designed to create hydrogen and other products 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. Industrial Info tackled this long-gestating trend and other developments in the global Chemical Processing Industry in a complimentary webinar earlier this year; for more information, see May 09, 2024, article - IIR Webinar: ESG Elements Give Big Boost to Chemical Industry Spending.

Green hydrogen projects with a strong chance of kicking off in the fourth quarter include Woodside Energy Group's (Perth, Australia) $500 million H2OK plant in Ardmore, Oklahoma, which is designed to produce 60 tons per day of liquid hydrogen via a 200-megawatt (MW) electrolyzer from Nel Hydrogen (Oslo, Norway). In California, Avina Clean Hydrogen Incorporated (Short Hills, New Jersey) hopes to begin work on its own $500 million green hydrogen plant in Los Angeles before the end of the year, as it continues to seek permits. Subscribers can read detailed reports on the Oklahoma and California projects.

Some smaller-scale green hydrogen projects also could be on the cusp of starting construction, such as Linde plc's (NYSE:LIN) (Woking, England) $3 million addition of a unit at its plant in Ontario, California. The company plans to install a 4-MW electrolyzer to produce green hydrogen for the transportation market, enough "to avoid up to 75,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions per year," according to the company. Subscribers can learn more from a detailed project report.

At least one waste-to-hydrogen project is looking at strong odds for a fourth-quarter kickoff: FusionOne Energy Corporation's (Toronto, Ontario) $75 million plant in New Iberia, Louisiana, which is designed to produce renewable hydrogen from 16 million pounds per year of tire taste provided by Colt Incorporated (Scott, Louisiana), a scrap tire processor and transporter that works with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality. Subscribers can learn more from a detailed project report.

The air-separation market, a key corner of the Chemical Processing Industry, expects to see several projects start construction in the fourth quarter, including Air Liquide S.A.'s (Paris, France) $100 million expansion of an air-separation plant in Clarksville, Tennessee. The new unit is designed to supply 60,000 tons per year of cathode materials for EV battery plants throughout the region, particularly LG Corporation's (Seoul, South Korea) $3.2 billion battery materials plant, also in Clarksville. Subscribers can read detailed reports on the air-separation and battery materials projects.
