In 2018, Air Liquide signed a new contract with its long-standing strategic customer Covestro, a leading global supplier of high-tech polymer materials. The Group will produce hydrogen directly on Covestro’s site in Antwerp (Belgium) using its state of the art SMR-X™ technology. It will allow for hydrogen production while offering increased energy efficiency and a reduced carbon footprint. The unit will start operations in 2020.

SMR-X is a new type of reformer that produces hydrogen without excess steam, a by-product that is declining in demand by customers. Compared to conventional steam methane reforming, SMR-X features higher thermal efficiency at low steam co-production ratios and emits less CO2.
