Arizona Hydrogen
Decarbonising the Heavy-Duty Transportation Sector
Arizona Hydrogen is a groundbreaking venture into liquid green hydrogen production in the United States, leading the way in green energy solutions.
Located in the heart of the Phoenix Metropolitan Area, this fast-to-market project began construction in 2024, with production of liquid green hydrogen targeted for mid-2026. It’s a bold step toward decarbonizing heavy-duty road transportation, driving both environmental progress and economic growth.
The Location
Strategically positioned in Buckeye, the Arizona Hydrogen project will decarbonize heavy transport in the southwestern US market. With the region consuming 5 billion gallons of diesel annually in heavy duty transportation, the project is well placed to fuel the future.
As California ramps up its push to phase out combustion engine trucks by 2036, Arizona Hydrogen is set to become a key player in the hydrogen-powered shift to clean transportation.
