Air Products Awarded a Hydrogen Supply Agreement in Texas

Air Products APD today announced a long-term agreement with Shell Oil Company for the supply of a significant portion of the hydrogen requirements at Shell's Deer Park, Texas refinery. The hydrogen supply will commence in mid-2013. The Deer Park facility will be connected to Air Products' industry-leading Gulf Coast hydrogen pipeline supply network that serves multiple refinery and petrochemical companies in the region. "We are pleased to be selected to supply Shell's hydrogen need at Deer Park. The structure of this agreement is another example of the flexibility and reliability provided by our Gulf Coast hydrogen pipeline network. The value created by the versatility of the pipeline network to be able to shift supply, if necessary, to customer facilities throughout the Gulf Coast was recognized and resulted in our winning this business," said Wilbur Mok, vice president - North America Tonnage Gases at Air Products.
