Air Products, and its arm Air Products Canada Ltd, have announced plans to build, own and operate a new world-scale hydrogen production plant near Shell Canada's Scotford facility located northeast of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

The Air Products facility will generate more than 150 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of hydrogen.

It will be linked with the subsidiary's existing Heartland Hydrogen Pipeline system which provides refiners, upgraders, chemical processors and other industries in the Alberta Industrial Heartland region.

The new Air Products Canada hydrogen facility will be commissioned in the latter half of 2015, subject to regulatory approval.

The new Canadian facility will be built under a long term deal for Air Products to provide Shell Scotford with hydrogen and steam. The Scotford deal represents the first contract under a recently inked Enterprise Framework Agreement (EFA) between Shell and Air Products.

Wilbur Mok, VP - North America Tonnage Gases, Air Products. Mok said : 'Refineries, upgraders, and other customers in the Heartland region have increasing demands for hydrogen. This new facility, which is connected to our established hydrogen pipeline system, will provide a very reliable source of hydrogen for these industries. We are pleased to be increasing our relationship with Shell, who we already supply at Scotford and other locations around the world. This follows Air Products' well-established on-site business model of winning profitable projects by signing long-term agreements with reputable customers.'
