查特工业公司扩大液态氢和液化天然气业务

据天然气资讯10月2日消息称，查特工业公司已经完成了先前宣布的以3.2亿美元现金将其低温生物学产品业务出售给Cryoport公司的交易。

2020年9月30日，查特和Plug电力公司签署了一份总供应协议，由查特向Plug及其子公司提供液氢存储和运输设备。根据协议，查特从Plug那里收到了780万美元的设备订单，这些订单已在2020年第三季度预定。

Plug电力公司是氢经济领域公认的领导者-每天使用40吨的液态氢。Plug电力公司在氢燃料的产生、液化和分配方面具有很强的行业领导地位。

查特在一份声明中还证实，该公司即将与一个关键的氢燃料客户签署正式的联合开发协议，该客户将专注于开发第一种液氢燃料应用。该协议建立在查特拥有50多年设计和制造用于存储、运输和电力应用的氢设备的经验以及其客户在美国的多站基础设施（用于扩展燃料电池汽车）的基础上。

查特还证实，其用于液化天然气应用的ISO集装箱的需求增长持续，2020年9月30日收到了New Fortress Energy关于ISO集装箱的第二份租赁订单，总额为770万美元。

Chart Industries expands liquid hydrogen and LNG business

Chart Industries Inc. has completed the previously announced divestiture of its cryobiological products business to Cryoport Inc. for US$320 million in cash.

On 30 September 2020, Chart and Plug Power Inc. executed a master supply agreement for Chart to supply liquid hydrogen storage and transport equipment to Plug and its subsidiaries. In conjunction with the agreement, Chart received US$7.8 million of equipment orders from Plug that are booked in 3Q20.

Plug Power is the established leader within the hydrogen economy – using 40 tpd of liquid hydrogen. Plug Power is well-positioned in the industry with capabilities in generation, liquefaction and distribution of hydrogen fuel.

In a statement, Chart also confirmed that it is close to executing a formal joint development agreement and entity with one of its key hydrogen customers which will focus on developing first-of-a-kind liquid hydrogen fuelling applications. This agreement builds upon Chart’s 50 plus years of experience designing and manufacturing hydrogen equipment for storage, transport and power applications as well as its customer’s multi-station infrastructure in the US for the expansion of fuel cell vehicles.

Chart also confirmed that its ISO containers for LNG applications continue to see increasing and heightened demand, with the 30 September 2020 receipt of its second leasing order from New Fortress Energy for ISO containers totalling US$7.7 million.
