Air Liquide is building an industrial scale ammonia cracking pilot plant in Antwerp, Belgium, that will utilize innovative technology to convert ammonia into hydrogen with an optimized carbon footprint. The cracking technology will assist Air Liquide in its contribution to hydrogen development for the energy transition. The global supply chain infrastructure for ammonia production, transportation, and utilization at large scale for various industries is already in place. The cracking plant is expected to commence operations in 2024, utilizing a novel efficient process with Air Liquide’s proprietary technologies. The Flemish Government has also confirmed its financial support for the project.

Air Liquide is set to construct an industrial scale ammonia cracking pilot plant in Antwerp, Belgium, according to an announcement from the company. The plant will use innovative technology to convert ammonia into hydrogen with an optimized carbon footprint. Air Liquide’s cracking technology will enable it to contribute to the development of hydrogen as a vital element of the energy transition. Ammonia, which is made of hydrogen and nitrogen, is considered an energy carrier, and can be produced with low-carbon footprint from hydrogen, using renewable energy sources such as wind, sun, and water. The global supply chain infrastructure for ammonia production, transportation, and utilization at large scale for various industries is already in place. The cracking plant, which utilizes a novel efficient process with Air Liquide’s proprietary technologies, is expected to commence operations in 2024. The Flemish Government has also confirmed its financial support for the project. Air Liquide has been a master of hydrogen for more than 60 years, and under its ADVANCE strategic plan, the company is committing to investing about €8bn globally in the low-carbon hydrogen value chain by 2035. The company has affirmed its commitment to making hydrogen a vital part of the fight against climate change, especially for the decarbonisation of heavy industry and mobility.
