Air Products (AP) recently announced it intends to build a network of permanent, commercial-scale multi-modal hydrogen refueling stations stretching from Edmonton to Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

“We build on that commitment with plans to build additional commercial-scale multi-modal H2 stations, developing a H2 highway connecting Alberta’s two largest cities and enabling the continued development of the region’s hydrogen ecosystem,” said Seifi Ghasemi, AP’ Chairman, CEO.

The stations will be equipped to serve heavy-duty vehicles, such as commercial and municipal trucks and buses, as well light-duty hydrogen fuel cell cars. The stations will be along the Queen Elizabeth II Highway that runs through Calgary and Edmonton. Each of our state-of-the-art, high-capacity, high-reliability stations will be able to fuel up to 200 heavy-duty trucks or 2,000 cars per day,

This H2 infrastructure will help Western Canada reach a goal of 5,000 hydrogen or dual fuel vehicles on the road in five years.
