2 Air Liquide s context The world leader in gases for industry, health and the environment. Historically (1902), distillation of air gases Separating the components of the air to take advantage of their properties Producing molecules from natural resources of the Planet Air Liquide Technologies Oxygen Nitrogen Hydrogen Helium Argon and rare gases Silane Carbon monoxide Acetylene 2 25/10/2013 ALaB Air Liquide, world leader in gases for industry, health and the environment

3 Air Liquide in brief Total Group revenue 2012 : billion billion from Europe, billion from Asia billion net profit, 11.9% ROCE Present in 80 countries employees Air Liquide s 2012 innovation budget of 257M Sustainable development represents 60% of R&D budget 5 strategic growth drivers Energy Environment Health High-Tech Developing economies 3 ALaB Air Liquide, world leader in gases for industry, health and the environment

4 Air Liquide and Hydrogen Energy

5 25/10/2013 ALaB Air Liquide Worldwide Hydrogen Operations H 2 : 545 km Key Figures: 200 H2 plants. 55 Hydrogen / CO Units 23 H 2 Purification Units Global H 2 Capacity > 1.3 million Nm 3 /h More than 1,850 km H 2 pipeline H 2 : 40 km AL s assets for H 2 supply: H 2 Production Unit for OTF supply of H 2 H 2 Purification Unit OTF Supply of H 2 H 2 /CO Production Unit (SMR / POX) OTF: Over the Fence supply, Air Liquide owns and operates plants H 2 : 950 km 5 Air Liquide, world leader in gases for industry, health and the environment

6 Transition from industrial H 2 to Hydrogen-Energy A new application : Hydrogen as an energy vector Hydrogen Electricity Electric current Oxygen Hydrogen Water New opportunities and new challenges 6 25/10/2013 ALaB Air Liquide, world leader in gases for industry, health and the environment

7 Hydrogen, an agile energy Natural Gaz Hydrogen storage HRS FCEV Reforming Biogas Hydrogen Forklifts Wind Electrolyser Fuel Cells Offgrid Sites Grid Solar 7 ALaB Air Liquide, world leader in gases for industry, health and the environment

8 How to transition towards a new energy mix? Air Liquide s Blue Hydrogen initiative At least 50% of hydrogen energy produced through carbon-free processes by 2020 renewable energy sources, water electrolysis and biogas reforming, carbon capture and storage technologies with natural gas reforming A commitment to meet both environmental requirements and social and economic constraints. 8 25/10/2013 ALaB Air Liquide, world leader in gases for industry, health and the environment

9 Hydrogen infrastructure for buses

10 How to ensure large capacity supply of hydrogen for buses? Challenge: Hydrogen Refueling Stations (HRS) for FC buses need large supply capacities: 1 bus = 20kg to 30 kg of H 2 per day 100 buses = 2.0 to 3.0 t of H 2 per day = several tube trailers per day (~200 kg/trailer) Hydrogen supply alternatives for large capacities : Liquid H 2 trailers (~3 tons / trailer) HRS connected to a hydrogen pipeline (X tons / hour) On-site hydrogen production (X tons / hour) SMR Electrolyzer 10 25/10/2013 ALaB Air Liquide, world leader in gases for industry, health and the environment

16 Perspectives for FC buses deployments

17 Two complementary approaches during ramp-up phase Centralized 1 HRS for many buses Decentralized A few buses around FCEV HRSs Fleet demonstration model from the start Higher investment High hydrogen supply Try then buy model Synergies with FCEV infrastructure deployment Lower investment 17 25/10/2013 ALaB Air Liquide, world leader in gases for industry, health and the environment
