Air Products is committed to open and continuous engagement with residents, local governments, and civic and community organizations. We view it as very important to the community to make ourselves available, and in true Air Products spirit, our efforts go beyond the regulatory requirement for this project.

Air Products is an extremely safety-oriented company when it comes to our people, the surrounding community and its residents, and the environment, and we will continue outreach to talk about the project and its environmental and economic benefits.

The training provided an overview of the properties and applications of hydrogen, the potential risks and risk mitigation strategies, and a discussion of the respective emergency response roles and responsibilities. Air Products and the HAVFD both committed to ongoing training and joint emergency response drills in the future.

The session, which lasted for about two and a half hours, attracted nearly 100 attendees and provided an opportunity for residents to learn more about the proposed Massena Green Hydrogen facility and for Air Products to address their questions and concerns.
