20 Hydrogen Fuel Infrastructure for the Future Turnkey Systems for safety Existing generation methods Methane conversion technologies Gas clean-up technologies Gasification Electrolysis Renewables Need continued efforts in generation Nuclear Coal Supply of the most cost effective molecule to the marketplace may be regional 20 Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. 2009

21 Key Messages Hydrogen is here today. Thousands of customers purchase hydrogen via pipelines, trucks, cylinders and onsite generation. Air Products objective is to supply its customers with the lowest cost hydrogen molecule, regardless of the production and delivery method. A variety of factors are evaluated when determining the lowest cost supply of hydrogen to a customer Hydrogen will likely come from a variety of feedstocks in the future, including cost competitive, renewable methods of production. 21 Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. 2009
