Louisiana Governor Edwards and the USA鈥檚 leading gas and chemicals provider, Air Products, in the latest announcement disclosed their plan to build a blue hydrogen clean energy complex worth USD 4.5 billion in Ascension Parish near Burnside. The mega project will facilitate the production of 750 million standard cubic feet per day of blue hydrogen by permanently sequestering the associated carbon dioxide emissions.

The project, scheduled to reach completion by 2026, will be boasting the world鈥檚 largest permanent carbon dioxide sequestration infrastructure that will be capturing and cloistering 95% of the facility鈥檚 carbon dioxide emissions amounting to a volume of 5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually. This project is part of Louisiana鈥檚 long-term goal of achieving zero greenhouse gases emissions by 2050.

Hydrogen is termed as 鈥渂lue鈥 when it is produced from fossil fuels like natural gas with simultaneous capturing and storing of the carbon dioxide released from the process. This technique is highly beneficial in reducing the global carbon footprint. Combustion of hydrogen results in zero-carbon emissions making it an ideal alternative for conventionally used fuels in the transportation sector. It is also used in various end-user industries for petroleum refining, producing fertilizers, food processing and metal treatment.

As per 果酱视频, the construction of a blue hydrogen production facility in Louisiana is a well-planned strategy towards enhancing Louisiana鈥檚 production base and establishing competitiveness in the sustainable energy market while reducing the environmental impact at the same time. The project will also get support from Louisiana鈥檚 geology which is compatible with building permanent sequestration sites. The commencement of this facility will improve the hydrogen supplies to the downstream market and may cause a lowering of hydrogen price trends in the country.
