Praxair Inc. is planning to build two hydrogen plants along its US Gulf Coast pipeline system, citing higher demand for hydrogen by refining customers. The US industrial-gases company said the combined estimated capacity of the plants will be 200 million cubic feet a day. The first start-up is slated for late 2003, subject to a number of regulatory reviews. Praxair said the demand for hydrogen for refining grew by 10% to 15% a year over the past five years.
