Praxair Invests $15 Million To Locate Operations in Hopewell
Governor Bob McDonnell today announced that Praxair, one of the largest industrial gases companies in the world, will invest more than $15 million to locate a gases operation on the property of Osage Bio Energy’s facility in the City of Hopewell. Praxair will capture and purify carbon dioxide from Osage’s Appomattox Bio Energy facility and market it in applications such as: the food industry to freeze food; the beverage industry to make carbonation; and the energy market to extract natural gas from the ground. The project will create 17 jobs with an average annual salary of $50,000. Virginia successfully competed against North Carolina, South Carolina and West Virginia for the project.
Speaking about today’s announcement, Governor McDonnell commented, “Praxair has a history in the Commonwealth and with this project will re-invest in Virginia’s new green economy. It is gratifying to see a Virginia supply chain develop to generate gases for several vital applications. Each new green job created will pay above-average salaries, and there is tremendous room for potential growth as a supplier to other major companies in the region.”
