At the heart of the future for a more sustainable world

03_Integrated and sustainable water treatment solution

Partnering with Inopsys, a Belgian specialist in treating chemical and pharmaceutical wastewater.

Some waste waters from complex industrial processes are non-recyclable and often transported for incineration, a costly and CO2 intensive process. Air Liquide offers its customers an integrated and sustainable solution, developed in collaboration with Inopsys, that uses hybrid technology to purify wastewater streams on site. The Group initially shared its pioneering work in advanced oxidation with Inopsys, and now supplies the company with pure oxygen and strategic expertise.

04_Indoor vertical farming

Developing a foothold on indoor vertical farming in Singapore through a new partnership with the company &ever.

Aiming to create a buffer from supply disruptions and produce 30% of its nutritional needs locally by 2030, Singapore called upon the German company &ever to develop indoor vertical farming in the country. Air Liquide will support &ever’s sustainable operations to supply carbon dioxide, crucial for plant growth, which can help increase their yield and growth rate.
