USING CO₂ TO PRODUCE CONCRETE WITH LOW ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

At the beginning of 2020, Air Liquide renewed its partnership with Solidia Technologies, a U.S. start‑up that develops solutions to reduce the environmental footprint of precast concrete.

The aim of this partnership? To use CO₂ as part of the concrete manufacturing process in order to reduce its carbon footprint by 70% compared with traditional concrete.

FOR AIR LIQUIDE

This collaboration positions the Group as Solidia Technologies’ preferred supplier of CO₂ and injection equipment. This development is in line with the Group’s Climate objectives. It illustrates the work that the Group is carrying out with customers and innovation ecosystems toward the development of a sustainable industry.

FOR SOLIDIA TECHNOLOGIES

This partnership, which follows a pilot phase initiated in 2016, represents a springboard for developing innovative products, entering new markets and offering sustainable solutions for the global concrete market.
