Air Products is teaming up with AES to invest ~$4 billion to build, own and operate the United States’ largest green hydrogen production facility in Texas. This megaproject will use renewable power to generate clean hydrogen, which can then be used to fuel heavy-duty transportation—like buses, trucks, trains and ships—and decarbonize hard-to-abate industries—such as steelmaking and cement production—with zero emissions.
Texas Green Hydrogen Complex
Clean Energy on a Massive Scale
Hydrogen plays a critical role in the energy transition. By increasing clean hydrogen production and use, we can significantly reduce emissions. Air Products and AES are teaming up to do just that.
By the Numbers
0
emissions produced when hydrogen is used as a fuel to power buses, trucks, ships and cars
~200
metric tons per day of green hydrogen produced, making it the largest green hydrogen facility in the U.S.
~1.4
gigawatts of wind and solar power used to power the facility with zero emissions
1.6 million
metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions eliminated annually if all the green hydrogen from this facility were used in the heavy-duty truck market
50 million
metric tons of CO₂ expected to be avoided over the project’s lifetime, equal to avoiding emissions from ~5 billion gallons of diesel fuel
>60
years of experience safely producing and distributing hydrogen
Investment in Texas
4 billion
investment in the state of Texas
500 million
in expected tax benefits to the state over the course of the project’s lifetime
1,300
construction jobs created
115
permanent jobs created to operate the facility
200
transportation and distribution jobs created
#1
largest green hydrogen facility in the U.S.
How It Works
which will generate green hydrogen by running a current through water to separate the water into oxygen and hydrogen.
The green hydrogen will then be used to fuel heavy-duty transportation—like buses, trucks, trains and ships—and decarbonize
hard-to-abate industries—such as steelmaking and cement production—with zero emissions.
