Imperial awards hydrogen contract to Air Products
In Canada, Imperial announced a long-term contract with Air Products to supply low-carbon hydrogen for Imperial’s proposed renewable diesel complex at its Strathcona refinery near Edmonton, Alberta.
Under the terms of the deal, Air Products will provide pipeline supply from its hydrogen plant under construction in Edmonton.
“Our agreement with Air Products is an important milestone as we progress plans to build the largest renewable diesel manufacturing facility in Canada,” said Jon Wetmore, Imperial’s vice president of downstream. “This project highlights Imperial’s commitment to investing in a lower carbon future
Imperial will use Air Products’ low-carbon hydrogen to produce renewable diesel at Strathcona with the aim of substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions relative to conventional production. The hydrogen and biofeedstock will be combined with a proprietary catalyst to produce premium low-carbon diesel fuel.
Imperial’s renewable diesel complex is expected to produce more than 1 billion liters per year of renewable diesel from locally sourced feedstocks.
