Carbon footprint [ Return towards  Corporate citizenship  ]

Air Liquide operates 461 production units around the world, over 300 of which are very large units. Among these, more than 80% are air separation units (ASU s), the Group’s core business, which do not directly emit GHGs, in contrast with other Group units. These factories “without chimneys” do not use any combustion process.

In addition, the Group continually optimizes the logistics of liquid gas delivery. The efficiency of liquid gas deliveries has thus improved by almost 4% in five years.

In our hydrogen and carbon monoxide (HyCO) units, energy efficiency per m3 of gas produced improved by more than 5% over five years.

The Group’s environmental commitment is strong: activities that preserve the environment and life represent 33% of its revenue.
