Air Liquide is an industrial gas company, specialising in the supply of industrial and medical gases, including hydrogen. The company is working with the French Nuclear Research Agency (CEA) on hydrogen supply systems and hydrogen storage. Air Liquide has been involved in the CUTE project station in Luxembourg, while part-subsidiary Japan Air Gases is involved in the JHFC project in Japan. Air Liquide has also purchased the operations of Messer Griesheim, previously involved in various hydrogen filling station projects (including EIHP2), in Germany and the UK. The companys Advanced Technology Division (DTA) is working on hydrogen storage (liquid and high pressure storage for vehicles) and hydrogen dispensing units.
In March 2001 it announced that it would form a joint venture with Nuvera Fuel Cells. This company, named Axane, aimed to develop and market complete power production systems based on fuel cell and fuel processor technology. The venture was discontinued in July 2002 and Axane is 100% owned by AirLiquide now.
