Air Liquide and Eni join forces for Hydrogen Mobility

Partagez:

Air Liquide and Eni have decided to join forces to develop hydrogen mobility.
This light gas is one of the solutions for decarbonizing the transport sector.

Air Liquide and Eni join forces to develop green energies

Air Liquide and Eni have signed a letter of intent to formalize their partnership.
This will give rise to a feasibility study on the development of a renewable hydrogen supply chain.
The hydrogen will be used to supply the fuel cell vehicle market.

“Decarbonizing the transport sector is one of the major challenges of the energy transition. Setting up a network of hydrogen filling stations is an essential step towards achieving this. With our long-standing partner Eni, we aim to contribute to a more sustainable future thanks to hydrogen,” said Pascal Vinet, Senior Vice-President of Air Liquide.
“This agreement with Air Liquide represents a new step in the promotion of sustainable mobility. The decarbonization of transport must be based on synergies and complementarity with existing technologies. In early 2022, Eni will inaugurate the first hydrogen station in an urban environment in Italy. Our agreement with Air Liquide will strengthen cooperation between operators on the road to energy transition,” added Giuseppe Ricci, General Manager Energy Evolution at Eni.

Air Liquide and Eni will also identify the best locations for hydrogen stations in Italy.

Air Liquide’s expertise at the service of hydrogen in Italy

Air Liquide, world leader in gases, technologies and services for industry and health, is present in 78 countries.
The company employs over 64,500 people.
Air Liquide’s ambition is to be the leader in its industry, with long-term performance and a commitment to sustainable development.
This partnership will draw on the French company’s expertise in hydrogen production, transport, storage and distribution.
Eni’s expertise will focus on commercial and retail activities, as well as their service station networks.
This collaboration will promote the development of hydrogen mobility technologies and infrastructures.
The two companies do not rule out new partnerships with other relevant players.
