Spotlight on… Air Products

With more than 60 years of experience in hydrogen production – including more than 25 years designing fuelling solutions – Air Products delivers a complete service in a complex industry, offering a dependable supply of hydrogen, quality equipment and reliable stations.

Working in partnership with customers, select industry partners and governments, the company uses its technical expertise, proven technology, strong local knowledge, and established safety practices to innovate, constantly improve and expand hydrogen’s role in the energy transition.

Its refuelling technology is used in more than 1,500,000 hydrogen fills per year, totalling more than 10 million hydrogen fills to date.

Air Products is involved in more than 250 innovative hydrogen infrastructure and fuelling projects around the world, supporting a wide variety of transportation applications.

Projects include:

  • The NEOM Green Hydrogen Project – the world-scale green hydrogen-based ammonia production facility powered by renewable energy. It is the world’s largest carbon-free and truly transformative hydrogen project.
  • Metrobus Crawley – a 15-year hydrogen supply deal with Go Ahead Group to power a fleet of fuel cell buses for deployment in the Gatwick Airport, Crawley and Horley area.
  • Delivering a hydrogen filling station and fuel to Alstom for the world’s first hydrogen-powered trains.
  • Bringing hydrogen technology to the roads of London in partnership with Transport for London.

In June 2022, Air Products and power generator VPI signed a joint development agreement to drive forward the Humber Hydrogen Hub or H3 – which seeks to develop a flagship 800MW low-carbon hydrogen production facility in Immingham, North East Lincolnshire. The majority of hydrogen produced would be used to decarbonise VPI Immingham’s existing power production.

Lee Juby

Lee is currently CEO of Fuel Cell Systems Ltd (FCSL). Industry insiders often talk about Hydrogen’s Chicken and Egg problem: Vehicle manufacturers cannot sell hydrogen vehicles without a refuelling infrastructure; Infrastructure & fuel network providers cannot recoup their investment if there are not enough vehicles using hydrogen. The result is Gridlock! Our approach has been to redefine the Chicken and Egg problem as simply “Refuelling Infrastructure is too expensive”. Now that’s an engineering problem we can fix!


Prior to FCSL, Lee spent eight years at UK Fuel Cell manufacturer Intelligent Energy, completing his time there as Chief Sales Officer. Leading the global commercial team and launching Intelligent Energy’s low carbon hydrogen products in to three market sectors: automotive, power generation and aviation. Lee’s involvement with the hydrogen industry started back in 1995 when among other projects he supported the field trials of SOFC CHP.
