Linde announced plans to increase its green H₂ production capacity in Ontario, California, in response to growing demand from the mobility market.

Linde will build, own and operate the first of several planned five-megawatt proton exchange membrane electrolyzers to increase its H₂ capacity. Following this initial investment, the new electrolyzer together with the existing plant will produce enough green H₂ to avoid up to 75,000 metric tpy of CO₂ equivalent emissions. Expected to start up in the second half of 2024, the new electrolyzer is one of several green H₂ projects Linde is planning across the U.S.

“We continue to see growing demand for green H₂ as decarbonization in the mobility sector becomes a reality,” said Marcos Cuevas, Vice President West Region, Linde. “As the largest liquid H₂ producer in the U.S., we are proud to leverage our technology and expertise to help California achieve its ambitious climate goals.”
