Linde Starts up Supply of Clean Hydrogen and Captured Carbon Dioxide to Celanese.
Woking, UK, January 30, 2024 – Linde (Nasdaq: LIN) announced today that it has started supplying clean hydrogen and captured carbon dioxide to Celanese, a global chemical and specialty materials company.
Linde is supplying Celanese with carbon dioxide captured from its state-of-the-art carbon monoxide and hydrogen production facility at Clear Lake, Texas. Celanese will use the captured carbon dioxide and resulting clean hydrogen, along with other carbon dioxide sources, as feedstock to produce methanol with a lower carbon intensity at its Fairway Methanol LLC joint venture with Mitsui & Co., Ltd.
Linde already supplies carbon monoxide, oxygen and nitrogen to Celanese from its Clear Lake facility and US Gulf Coast pipeline system. The additional supply is an expansion of the existing long-term agreement.
