New entrant Cleanova has won the contract to supply filtration systems for a multi-billion-dollar blue H2 manufacturing facility in Louisiana, U.S.
The clean energy project will come on stream in 2026. It will produce over 750 MM standard cubic feet per day of blue H2 for pipeline customers on the U.S. Gulf Coast and blue ammonia for global H2 markets. Around 95% of the facility’s carbon dioxide emissions (more than 5 MMtpy) will be captured and permanently sequestered in inland geological pore spaces in Louisiana – making it the world’s largest carbon capture for sequestration project currently in development.
Cleanova will supply a pair of three-stage filter modules to clean the intake air of the Air Separation Unit, which separates Oxygen and Nitrogen. The modules are designed to operate at a flow rate of more than 650,000 cubic meters per hour. The primary contractor on the project found Cleanova to offer the most technically suitable solution for the blue H2 manufacturing and CCS facility, having successfully installed other Cleanova filtration products.
Commenting on the contract win, Javaid Riaz, CEO of Cleanova, said, “This is a significant contract win for Cleanova and demonstrates our commitment to supporting the clean energy transition through innovative filtration solutions. Our team in Jaipur, India, should be congratulated for securing this work. We look forward to collaborating with the EPC contractor to ensure that we deliver exceptional filtration results.”
