Hydrogen is an important component for the oil sands industry because it adds value to produced bitumen and enables the production of cleaner burning transportation fuels. Hydrogen is a major feedstock needed for processing bitumen into synthetic crude oil for market. In the refinery process, hydrogen is used to remove impurities like sulphur from crude oil. Air Products experience with air separation, syngas processing, reformation and gasification helps us provide a valuable role in the complex gasification and energy projects involved in the oil sands industry.
