Paris, France [RenewableEnergyAccess.com] Under the terms of a letter of intent signed by Air Liquide Large Industries U.S. LP and ConocoPhillips, Air Liquide will build, own and operate a new 120 million standard cubic feet per day steam methane reformer (SMR) facility to be located at ConocoPhillips' refinery on the northeastern shore of San Francisco bay in Rodeo, California.
"This hydrogen contract represents a significant milestone in the competitive hydrogen market and gives Air Liquide a solid position in the San Francisco Bay Area from which to capitalize on future growth opportunities."
-- Pierre Dufour, Air Liquide Executive VP 
Scheduled to be completed by mid-2008, the large-scale hydrogen unit will supply the existing and future requirements of the Rodeo Refinery and will also provide the foundation to support future hydrogen opportunities that are anticipated in the San Francisco area.
"This hydrogen contract represents a significant milestone in the competitive hydrogen market and gives Air Liquide a solid position in the San Francisco Bay Area from which to capitalize on future growth opportunities," said Pierre Dufour, Air Liquide Executive VP.

At the rate natural gas prices are rising, it will be much cheaper to generate hydrogen electrolytically using electricity generated by wind power, a renewable resource, rather than natural gas, a greenhouse gas forming fossil fuel.
