據天然氣資訊10月2日消息稱，查特工業公司已經完成了先前宣布的以3.2億美元現金將其低溫生物學產品業務出售給Cryoport公司的交易。

2020年9月30日，查特和Plug電力公司簽署了一份總供應協議，由查特向Plug及其子公司提供液氫存儲和運輸設備。根據協議，查特從Plug那里收到了780萬美元的設備訂單，這些訂單已在2020年第三季度預定。

Plug電力公司是氫經濟領域公認的領導者-每天使用40噸的液態氫。Plug電力公司在氫燃料的產生、液化和分配方面具有很強的行業領導地位。

查特在一份聲明中還證實，該公司即將與一個關鍵的氫燃料客戶簽署正式的聯合開發協議，該客戶將專注于開發第一種液氫燃料應用。該協議建立在查特擁有50多年設計和制造用于存儲、運輸和電力應用的氫設備的經驗以及其客戶在美國的多站基礎設施（用于擴展燃料電池汽車）的基礎上。

查特還證實，其用于液化天然氣應用的ISO集裝箱的需求增長持續，2020年9月30日收到了New Fortress Energy關于ISO集裝箱的第二份租賃訂單，總額為770萬美元。

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.
