Louisiana is oiling up for a hydrogen network.

The facility will be connected to Air Products’ Louisiana Hydrogen Pipeline Network and will service Exxon Mobil’s Baton Rouge, Louisiana refinery.

It will also provide services to other customers in the region and is expected to be online by March 2010.
Air Products has collaborated with Exxon Mobil in other hydrogen based facilities in both Baytown, Texas and Joliet, Illinois.
“We are very pleased to expand our global business relationship with ExxonMobil. Air Products takes great pride in its production facilities and hydrogen supply reliability, and this project will enable us to demonstrate the added value of our expanded Louisiana Hydrogen Pipeline Network,” said Alex Masetti, vice president, North America Tonnage Gases for Air Products.
Supplying refineries with hydrogen for cleaner burning fuels is one of Air Products’ main areas of growth. In fact, Air Products has the largest hydrogen pipeline in the US Gulf Coast, which supplies more than fifty refineries.
