Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--As more major petrochemical projects begin service across the U.S., especially along the Gulf Coast, the need for industrial gases such as hydrogen have risen accordingly. A variety of feedstocks are now being used to produce hydrogen. Industrial Info is tracking more than $1.2 billion worth of industrial gas projects across the U.S. that could begin construction before the end of the year, the bulk of which is attributed to a trio of grassroot projects from Orion Engineered Carbons GmbH (Luxembourg City, Luxembourg), Mote Incorporated (Los Angeles, California) and J. Westling Company.

Natural gas remains the top feedstock for industrial gas production, and Orion is preparing to begin construction on such a project with its acetylene-based conductive additives plant in La Porte, Texas. Acetylene and other chemicals for the project will be supplied by LyondellBasell's (NYSE:LYB) (Rotterdam, Netherlands) gas-fueled La Porte Complex; nonetheless, additives produced at Orion's plant will be used in the development of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles, a key part of the energy transition. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Chemical Processing Project Database can learn more from a detailed project report.
But greener projects account for a growing number of U.S.-based industrial gas projects. Mote aims to begin construction before the end of the year on a renewable hydrogen facility in Bakersfield, California, which will convert wood waste from farms, forestry and other resources into hydrogen. The project will use gasification technology provided by SunGas Renewables Incorporated (Houston, Texas). The company says it already has secured commitments for more than 450,000 tons of feedstock, enough to supply production at the facility. Subscribers can learn more from a detailed project report.
"This facility will maximize energy efficiency and scalability to achieve carbon reduction at a lower cost than current methods of carbon removal," Mote said in a press release following the project's announcement last year. "From just one location, Mote expects to produce approximately 7 million kilograms of carbon-negative hydrogen and remove 140,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air annually."
J. Westling Company is venturing into the market for "zero-carbon" products with Project Meadowlark in Gothenburg, Nebraska. The startup plans to provide green fertilizer to farms within a 150-mile radius, by using liquified CO2 and wastewater as feedstocks for 500 tons per day of green ammonia and 1,000 tons per day of urea ammonium nitrate (UAN). Subscribers can learn more from a detailed project report.
Other green-oriented projects set to begin construction before the end of the year include NextEra Energy Incorporated's (NYSE:NEE) (Juno Beach, Florida) green hydrogen pilot production unit at its Okeechobee Clean Energy Center in Florida, which would be fueled by NextEra's nearby Cavendish Solar Energy Center, and OneH2 Incorporated's (Longview, North Carolina) brownfield green hydrogen plant in Pontiac, Michigan. OneH2 is a subsidiary of BAES Infrastructure (Houston), which launched earlier this year to develop early-stage energy transition projects. Subscribers can read detailed reports on the Okeechobee and Pontiac projects.
Among smaller-valued projects, Matheson Tri-Gas Incorporated (Irving, Texas) and Mitsubishi Chemical Group Corporation (Tokyo, Japan) are preparing to overhaul compressors and upgrade a furnace at a hydrogen plant in Lima, Ohio, and upgrade a reformer at a carbon monoxide plant in McIntosh, Alabama. The Lima projects are expected to wrap up by the end of October. Subscribers can read detailed reports on the compressor, furnace and reformer projects.
In addition to the abovementioned capital-spending projects, Industrial Info is tracking more than 45 maintenance-related projects at industrial gas-production facilities across the U.S. that are set to kick off in the fourth quarter.
