Hydromotive GmbH, a subsidiary of the Linde Group, will build a demonstration plant from mid-2009 at the chemical site in Leuna, Germany, or producing hydrogen from glycerine. The plant, which will reprocess, pyrolyse and reform raw glycerine and will come on stream in mid-2010, will produce a hydrogen-rich gas, which will be fed into the existing Leuna II hydrogen plant for the purification and liquefaction of the hydrogen. The 'green' liquefied hydrogen produced there will initially be used in German centres such as Berlin and Hamburg where hydrogen is being employed as a fuel.
