1. Linde to build green hydrogen plant in New York
MOSCOW (MRC) -- Linde has said it will construct a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser plant in Niagara Falls to produce green hydrogen for the state – and the company says it will be operational in 2023, said Gasworld. The project, expected to start production in two years, has a USD17.3 million price tag and includes two parallel systems to maximize daily production of emission-free hydrogen, using the hydropower generated by Niagara Falls. The hydrogen is produced through electrolysis, with an electric current splitting water into its hydrogen and oxygen components, without pollution. Water and heat are the byproducts. "By providing an emission-free fuel that can be used for hard-to-electrify industrial and other power needs, Linde’s project will also reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support the State’s climate goals, as well as fulfill the WNYREDC’s focus on innovation and sustainability in its tradable sector of advanced manufacturing,” said Kevin Younis, COO and executive deputy commissioner at Empire State Development.
