Air Products has signed a long-term supply contract with Monsanto Company to build a world-scale hydrogen production plant at the Monsanto Luling, Louisiana Roundup facility.
The hydrogen plant is scheduled to be on-stream in January 2012.
Air Products will build a steam methane reformer (SMR) producing over 100 million cubic feet per day of hydrogen.
The SMR will be connected to Air Products' East Gulf Coast pipeline network, which supplies refineries with hydrogen needed to make cleaner burning transportation fuels, in addition to meeting the hydrogen needs of the local petrochemical industry.
The facility will produce additional hydrogen via a clean-up of a hydrogen-rich off-gas feed coming from Monsanto.
Monsanto will use steam from Air Products' SMR process to benefit its Roundup production plant.
