Imperial Oil Ltd. has entered into an agreement with Air Products & Chemicals Inc. that will supply Imperial with low-carbon hydrogen for its proposed renewable-diesel complex in Alberta. Imperial Oil said Tuesday that it will use Air Products’ low-carbon hydrogen to produce renewable diesel at Strathcona near the province’s capital city, Edmonton, which the company said will reduce greenhouse-gas emissions relative to conventional production. The hydrogen and biofeedstock will be combined with a catalyst to produce premium low-carbon diesel fuel, it said. Air Products is increasing investment into its Edmonton hydrogen facility to around 1.6 billion Canadian dollars (US$1.22 billion). The investment will be used to facilitate integration with Imperial’s proposed project and help it in turn with its own emissions-reduction efforts, the company said. Air Products will supply Strathcona with approximately 50% of the low-carbon hydrogen output from the 165-million-standard-cubic-feet-per-day hydrogen production complex, it said. Imperial said its proposed complex is expected to produce more than 1 billion liters of renewable diesel a year. Write to Adriano Marchese at [email protected]
