Linde to deliver two hydrogen plants to Russia

  - Contract value: around EUR 120 million

  - Plants will be used for heavy residue conversion at the Nizhnekamsk
    refinery site

Munich, 11 February 2014 - Technology company The Linde Group has recently
signed an engineering and procurement contract for two hydrogen plants in
Nizhnekamsk, Republic of Tatarstan, Russian Federation. The contract was
awarded by PSC TAIF-NK, a leader in the oil refining industry in Tatarstan.
The contract is worth around EUR 120 million.

'We are delighted to have the opportunity to cooperate with PSC TAIF-NK and
bring in our in-depth expertise in hydrogen technology,' said Professor Dr
