For the second time in less than a year Air Products (NYSE: APD), the leading global hydrogen provider, is announcing it will supply additional hydrogen to be used by Motiva’s Convent, Louisiana refinery under a long-term agreement with Motiva Enterprises LLC. The significant amount of additional hydrogen to be supplied will come from Air Products’ industry-leading Gulf Coast hydrogen pipeline supply network serving multiple refinery and petrochemical operations in the region. Similar to the previous August 2011 agreement between the companies, the new contract allows the direction of some of the hydrogen product supplied to Motiva’s Convent Refinery to go to other Motiva refineries along Air Products’ pipeline network in both Texas and Louisiana.

“Our initial hydrogen supply to Motiva’s Convent facility goes back many years and we are pleased to expand this working relationship with this additional agreement. This is the second instance with Motiva in which the flexibility in hydrogen supply options available with our Texas and Louisiana hydrogen pipeline created added value. We believe the connection of our Texas and Louisiana pipelines into one system will be an asset for the refinery and petrochemical industries along our Gulf Coast hydrogen franchise,” said Wilbur Mok, vice president - North America Tonnage Gases at Air Products.
