Air Products has announced plans to build a second hydrogen liquefaction plant in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, which will double Europe's current liquid hydrogen capacity. The plant, set to be operational in 2025, will supply liquid hydrogen to meet the growing demands of high-tech industries and the mobility market. The project is part of Air Products' commitment to hydrogen's role in the energy transition and will contribute to the decarbonisation of heavy-duty vehicles in Europe.
