Linde to Increase Green Hydrogen Production in California
Linde (NYSE:LIN) announced plans to expand its green hydrogen production capacity in Ontario, California, due to rising demand in the mobility market. The company will construct a five-megawatt PEM electrolyzer, which, in combination with the existing plant, is expected to prevent up to 75,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. This project is part of Linde's broader strategy to implement multiple hydrogen initiatives across the U.S., with the new electrolyzer projected to be operational by the second half of 2024.
- Expansion of green hydrogen capacity indicates strong market demand.
- Project will prevent significant CO2 emissions, supporting climate goals.
- Linde leverages established technology and expertise in hydrogen production.
