As a leading industrial gas supplier and the world’s largest merchant hydrogen supplier, Air Products South Africa brings over five decades of experience in gas supply and safety to help you succeed.
With higher standards for clean air and a need for less dependence on foreign oil, interest in alternative fuels has never been greater. Hydrogen is abundant, efficient, and unlike other alternatives, it produces no emissions when used in a fuel cell. There are numerous developments underway around the world related to the use of hydrogen as fuel in marine applications. Both private and government agencies are developing products that rely on hydrogen fuel cells for the generation of clean, efficient and quiet power. As the world’s largest supplier of merchant hydrogen and an industry leader in hydrogen fuel infrastructure, Air Products is at the forefront of the development of hydrogen technologies in this emerging market.
Faced with a need to reduce emissions, transit authorities, fleet owners and energy consumers around the world are recognising hydrogen as a clean and efficient alternative fuel. Hydrogen and blends of hydrogen and compressed natural gas (HCNG) are being used internationally in demonstration fleets of buses deployed in various types of service. Since 1993, Air Products has provided hydrogen and fueling infrastructure for bus programs that have demonstrated the benefits of this promising technology.
In a just-in-time marketplace, every hour spent changing, recharging and maintaining lead-acid forklift batteries eats into productivity. Now, thereis an alternative. Hydrogen fuel cells can help to enhance material handling operations through superior performance which helps to increase productivity. Globally, Air Products provides the hydrogen supply and fuelling infrastructure for fuel cell power packs, which are direct replacements for the industrial batteries used in forklifts, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and other material handling vehicles.
