Air Products is building a new liquid hydrogen facility in the Rotterdam port area. Now over 65% complete and expected to be operational in 2027, the facility will become the largest of its kind in Europe. This development strengthens the existing Rotterdam hydrogen hub.
The new plant significantly expands Europe’s supply of liquid hydrogen, supporting growing demand from sectors such as electronics manufacturing, space applications, industrial processing, (road) mobility, maritime applications, aviation and emerging energy markets. Integrated with Air Products’ existing hydrogen network in the Rotterdam industrial cluster, the facility will supply off takers across the Benelux, France, Germany, and the UK.
“As Europe’s largest port and a key energy hub, Rotterdam is committed to enabling the development of Europe’s hydrogen economy,” said Boudewijn Siemons, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority. “Air Products’ investment strengthens the infrastructure needed for industrial decarbonization and ensures a reliable, locally available hydrogen supply for businesses across the region.”
