Air Liquide announces new hydrogen cracking technology

French multinational industrial company, Air Liquide, has announced the construction of an industrial scale ammonia (NH3) cracking pilot plant in the port of Antwerp, Belgium.

When transformed into ammonia, hydrogen can be easily transported over long distances. Using innovative technology, this plant will make it possible to convert, with an optimized carbon footprint, ammonia into hydrogen (H2). With this cracking technology, Air Liquide will further contribute to the development of hydrogen as a key enabler of the energy transition.

The innovative pilot plant, which combines a novel efficient process with Air Liquide’s proprietary technologies, is planned to be operational in 2024.
