Hydrogen is a carbon-free solution for a sustainable, green future. The hydrogen supply chain demands new technologies and new applications. Some of the technologies have already been in production for decades. Hydrogen liquefiers are such an existing technology. Linde has decades of experience in constructing and operating hydrogen liquefaction plants.
Liquefaction is not the only link in the long hydrogen supply chain that Linde offers. Have a look at the comprehensive range of the Linde Engineering hydrogen portfolio starting from hydrogen production to filling stations.
