HPI operating facilities have many choices on how to meet their rising demand for H2; here are several options
Hydrogen is a commonly found element. For many
petrochemical/chemical products, it is consumed as a process
reactant or fuel. Currently, the global annual hydrogen demand is
approximately 50 million tons (550 billion Nm3).
Bulk petrochemicals-ammonia and methanol-and processing/refining
of gasoline consume nearly two thirds of the annual hydrogen
demand. These facilities typically have hydrogen requirements up to
250,000 Nm3/h. The remaining hydrogen demand is directed
to many different process industries including: fats and oils
