On 23 October Air Products held a dedication ceremony for the world’s largest hydrogen plant and pipeline supply network to date, stretching from the Houston Ship Channel in Texas to New Orleans. Air Products had operated two hydrogen pipeline systems in Texas and Louisiana before joining them with a new 180-mile segment. Air Products’ Gulf Coast Connection Pipeline (GCCP) is now able to provide hydrogen to customers along the 600-mile pipeline span from over 20 hydrogen production facilities.
The company announced the pipeline project in 2010 and put it onstream in August 2012 to begin supply of over 1.2 billion cubic feet of hydrogen per day to Louisiana and Texas customers.
