Business As used in this report, unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms we, our, us, the Company, "Air Products," or registrant include our controlled subsidiaries and affiliates.
About Air Products Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., a Delaware corporation founded in 1940, is a world-leading industrial gases company that has built a reputation for its innovation, operational excellence, and commitment to safety and environmental stewardship.
Focused on serving energy, environmental, and emerging markets and generating a cleaner future, we offer products and services that improve our customers operations and sustainability.
We serve a broad range of industries, including refining, chemicals, metals, electronics, manufacturing, medical, and food, providing essential industrial gases, related equipment, and applications expertise.
We also develop, engineer, build, own, and operate some of the world s largest clean hydrogen projects supporting the transition to low- and zero-carbon energy, particularly in industrial applications and the heavy-duty transportation sector.
Additionally, our sale of equipment businesses provide specialized products such as turbomachinery, membrane systems, and cryogenic containers to customers worldwide.
Our Businesses Regional Industrial Gases Our industrial gases business, which is organized and operated regionally in the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Middle East and India segments, produces and sells atmospheric gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and argon (primarily recovered by the cryogenic distillation of air); process gases such as hydrogen, helium, carbon dioxide ("CO 2 "), carbon monoxide, and syngas (a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide); and specialty gases.
Atmospheric gases are produced through various air separation processes, with cryogenic distillation being the most prevalent, while process gases are produced by methods other than air separation.
Hydrogen is a process gas that is typically produced by purifying byproduct sources obtained from chemical and petrochemical industries without carbon capture, commonly referred to as gray hydrogen.
In addition, we are advancing projects that produce low-carbon hydrogen from hydrocarbons with carbon capture ( blue hydrogen ) and carbon-free hydrogen from renewable energy ( green hydrogen ), such as the NEOM Green Hydrogen Project in Saudi Arabia.

About Air Products Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., a Delaware corporation originally founded in 1940, is a world-leading industrial gases company that has built a reputation for its innovative culture, operational excellence, and commitment to safety and the environment.
Focused on serving energy, environmental, and emerging markets, we are committed to generating a cleaner future by offering products and services that enable our customers to improve their environmental performance, product quality, and productivity.
With sustainability at its core, our two-pillar growth strategy includes the optimization and growth of our core industrial gases business while developing, engineering, building, owning, and operating some of the world s largest clean hydrogen projects that will advance the transition to low- and zero-carbon energy in the industrial and heavy-duty transportation sectors.
Our regional industrial gases business provides essential gases, related equipment, and applications expertise to customers in dozens of industries, including refining, chemicals, metals, electronics, manufacturing, medical, and food.
Through our sale of equipment businesses, we also provide turbomachinery, membrane systems, and cryogenic containers globally.

To produce hydrogen, we purify byproduct sources obtained from the chemical and petrochemical industries.
We have historically produced hydrogen from hydrocarbons exclusively without carbon capture (known as "gray hydrogen"); however, we are also investing in projects that are intended to create a reliable and consistent world-scale source of low-carbon hydrogen produced from hydrocarbons with carbon capture (known as blue hydrogen ) as well as carbon-free hydrogen produced from renewable energy (known as green hydrogen ).
