Air Products to Exit Three U.S.-Based Projects
As part of a review initiated by Air Products’ (NYSE:APD) newly-elected Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, the Company today announced its decision to exit three projects in the U.S. As a result, Air Products expects to record a pre-tax charge not to exceed $3.1 billion in its fiscal 2025 second quarter, primarily to write down assets and terminate contractual commitments. The estimated charge, which will not impact adjusted earnings per share for fiscal 2025, relates to the following projects: World Energy: Air Products has terminated the agreement with World Energy for the Sustainable Aviation Fuel expansion project in Paramount, California, and is managing its overall exit from the site. The decision to exit reflects challenging commercial aspects surrounding the expansion project and current operations. Massena: Air Products has cancelled its plans to construct a 35 metric ton per day facility to produce green liquid hydrogen in Massena, New York, and related liquid hydrogen distribution and dispensing operations. The decision to cancel this project is based on recent regulatory developments rendering existing hydroelectric power supply ineligible for the Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit (45V) as well as slower than expected development of a hydrogen mobility market in the region. Carbon monoxide project in Texas: Air Products has terminated a project in Texas for the production of carbon monoxide due to unfavorable project economics.
