Industrial gas producer Linde will invest $83 million in the construction of a hydrogen plant in Alabama, USA.
This was reported by gasworld with reference to the press service of the Ministry of Commerce of Alabama.
According to the ministry, the industrial gas giant will meet the growing demand from aerospace, electronics, manufacturing and mobility customers with the new facility.
In addition to increasing hydrogen supply in the region, the construction of the plant will also increase employment in the southeastern state.

Thanks to this and many other projects, Linde leads the hydrogen market in the United States.
"The secret is clear: Alabama is full of opportunities, and we are the best place to do business," said Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, Linde's decision to expand.
It is also known that the plant will be operational by 2024.
Before EcoPolitics reported that the company Gloyer-Taylor Laboratories (GTL) from Tennessee, the United States has developed ultralight cryogenic hydrogen tanks that will allow airliners to fly four times as far.
