At the heart of the future for a more sustainable world

Invent

Air Liquide firmly believes that hydrogen is the key to accelerating the energy transition. The Group is partnering with major players from various sectors who offer complementary skills to harness the full potential of hydrogen, from production to future distribution methods. This generates a reduction in industrial CO2 emissions and an increase in the development of clean transportation.

Decarbonized industry

Europe is taking a major step in furthering industry and mobility decarbonization. Air Liquide and Siemens Energy have joined forces to create a European ecosystem of hydrogen production technologies by electrolysis, thereby promoting the emergence of a sustainable hydrogen economy in Europe. One of the large projects backed by the French and German authorities is the construction of a renewable hydrogen production unit with a capacity of 30 MW in Oberhausen, Germany. This industrial-sized unit will be the first of its kind to be connected to the existing Air Liquide pipeline network.
