The U.K.-based industrial gas giant said it would develop the new clean hydrogen facility with carbon capture technology to reduce emissions, and plans to complete the project in 2028. (The Logic)

Talking point: The project will primarily supply Dow Chemical’s massive $11.6-billion Path2Zero petrochemical plant in Fort Saskatchewan, located just north of Edmonton. The Linde facility will also offtake gases from Dow’s ethylene cracker, a part of the plant that uses extreme heat to break down molecules found in natural gas. The Alberta government has outlined a roadmap for establishing a new hydrogen sector in the province, with Edmonton’s industrial heartland as the main hub for the emissions-free gas. Alberta, along with the federal government, awarded $475 million to Pennsylvania-based Air Products in 2022 to construct a net-zero hydrogen complex in the region.
