Praxair extends hydrogen supply agreement with Motiva Enterprises LLC

Praxair intends to extend its long-term hydrogen supply agreement with Motiva Enterprises LLC. According to the new agreement undertaken Praxair will surge the hydrogen amount to approximately 600,000 barrel per day refinery in Port Arthur, Texas.

Hydrogen is used by refiners to produce ultra-low sulfur diesel and other clean transportation fuels. Demand for these fuels continues to increase as companies abide by stricter environmental regulations and standards. Praxair began delivering hydrogen to the refinery in 1992 as one of the first customers on its gas hydrogen pipeline system. Since that time, Praxair’s system and capabilities have grown significantly and the refinery itself has undergone several expansions and it is now North America’s largest.

Dan Yankowski, Praxair’s president of Global Hydrogen said “Due to our record of safe and reliable supply, over many years we’ve enjoyed a mutually-beneficial commercial relationship with Motiva, and we look forward to continuing to meet the growing needs of their world-scale refinery.”
