据能源新闻10月11日消息称，全球领先的氢气供应商空气产品公司今天宣布，其位于德克萨斯州拉波特工厂的新液氢工厂已投产，以满足多个客户市场不断增长的需求。新的拉波特液态氢工厂每天生产约 30 吨氢气，并将从空气产品公司现有的墨西哥湾沿岸氢气管道网络、世界上最大的氢气工厂和管道系统中提取用于液化的氢。
空气产品公司美洲区总裁Francesco Maione说：“我们投资在德克萨斯州的这个新的液氢生产设施，以显示我们对客户的承诺，并帮助满足当前和未来的需求。新产能的增加也将使我们能够瞄准几个市场的增长，即移动市场的氢。拉波特工厂的位置和运营优势为我们提供了众多的供应选择。我们期待提供这种新的可靠的液氢来源，这对几个州的制造和其他业务非常重要。”
Maione 补充说，空气产品公司还计划在美国西南部建立一个绿色液氢生产设施，该零碳设施将生产液态氢，并将其出售给加州和其他需要零碳氢燃料的移动市场。
