(NYSE: GTLS), a leading manufacturer of highly engineered equipment servicing applications in the clean energy and industrial gas markets, announced today that the companies have entered into an agreement to support the growth of hydrogen as an alternative, cleaner fuel source
As part of this agreement, Flowserve will acquire in-process R&D related to Chart’s liquid hydrogen fueling pump and will be Chart’s sole manufacturer and supplier of the pump once commercial production has begun.
