Accelerating the Energy Transition

By investing billions of dollars in low-carbon hydrogen projects, ฺBIG and Air Products aim to drive decarbonization of heavy transportation and industrial sectors that are hard to electrify. Zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell vehicles can decarbonize heavy modes of transport, like buses, trucks, ships, and more, while hydrogen can also provide lower-carbon-intensity power to heavy industrial sectors, like steelmaking and chemicals processing.
