BATON ROUGE, La. Louisiana First — Air Products confirmed to Louisiana First News that the multibillion-dollar blue hydrogen project in Ascension Parish has been delayed amid conversations with possible investors.
An Air Products spokesperson said the earliest the project could begin production is 2028 or 2029.
“Our Louisiana team remains focused on the project, and we continue to work with local and state officials to secure the necessary permits for the entire Louisiana Clean Energy Complex,” spokesperson Christina Stephens said.
The project hailed by former Gov. John Bel Edwards as a landmark clean energy initiative was announced in October 2021 as a $4.5 billion industrial facility called the Louisiana Clean Energy Complex. According to Air Products, 170 permanent jobs are expected to be created.
