Linde North America, Inc. (Linde North America), a member of The Linde Group (Linde), and Shell Oil Company (Shell) have entered into a long-term contract for the supply of hydrogen for Shell’s Deer Park in Texas. The hydrogen will be used primarily for the production of clean-burning transportation fuels at Deer Park Refining Company. Linde will invest over $50 million to supply hydrogen through a pipeline network connected to its facilities in the Houston Ship Channel.

Deer Park Refining Company is a 50:50 joint venture of Shell and PMI Norteamerica S.A. de C. V, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petroleos Mexicanos.

The supply will commence in mid-2010.

Kent Masters, member of Linde executive board said, “Linde has been associated with Shell on multiple international initiatives in the areas of industrial gases and plant supply and the provision of engineering services during the last five years. We are very excited to expand this relationship by the establishment of this additional long-term hydrogen tonnage supply arrangement in the strategic Houston Ship Channel area.”
