Air Liquide plans to invest more than Eur80 million ($87 million) to build a major renewable hydrogen facility at TotalEnergies’ La Mede biorefinery in southern France, marking a significant push toward greener fuel production in one of Europe’s key industrial hubs.
Air Liquide will build, own and operate a 25,000 mt/year green hydrogen unit, scheduled to begin operations in 2028, that produces hydrogen from recycled biogenic byproducts rather than fossil fuels, the Paris-based industrial gas giant said Nov. 22.
