Hydrogen will be the fuel of the future. It offers solutions to some of the greatest energy problems and challenges facing future generations. Air Products offer extensive Know-H₂ow and expertise in the supply, safe handling and application of hydrogen. We are involved in projects ranging from small remote-power fuel cell applications to car fuelling and large scale industrial hydrogen solutions and space-rocket fuelling.

Here are some example projects that demonstrate our Know-H₂ow:

In the UK

• Air Products supplies the hydrogen for the fuel cells which will power the lighthouse at the mouth of the Tees Estuary and a traffic sign on Middlesbrough’s Transportation Bridge - all examples of remote power applications.
• Air Products supplies hydrogen for Bristol City Council’s ‘slow down’ road sign.
• Air Products works closely with the Centre for Process Innovation and the North East regional development agency – One North East – to stimulate hydrogen energy and fuel cell applications in early-stage company developments. Teesside sports extensive Air Products hydrogen infrastructure.
• In the UK, Air Products is a member of the London Hydrogen Partnership, working to make the technology a reality in the capital.

Around the world

• Air Products supplies the hydrogen for the launching of NASA's space shuttle and Arriane rockets.
• The Air Products series of vehicle fuelling stations have now made over 8000 fill-ups since February 2004, fuelling Toyota, Ford, DaimlerChrysler and MAN demonstration vehicles amongst others.
• Air Products has created the infrastructure for refuelling the next generation of German Navy hydrogen powered submarines - wherever they are in Europe.
• Air Products and its Indian subsidiary, INOX Air Products, have been awarded the contract to supply hydrogen fuelling equipment for India’s first hydrogen dispensing station at the IndianOil R&D centre in Haryana, near Dehli.
• Air Products designed, built and sold to Shell the world's first retail hydrogen fuel station in October 2005.
• Air Products has already built more than 30 hydrogen fuelling stations worldwide.
