With a presence in 60 countries and approximately 66,500 employees, the Group serves over 4 million customers and patients worldwide. Since its inception in 1902, Air Liquide has maintained a commitment to innovation, focusing on essential molecules such as Oxygen, Nitrogen, Helium, Argon, Hydrogen, and CO2, which are fundamental to life, matter, and energy. The company aims to invent the future and support global transformations by developing sustainable solutions.
Sustainable Energy and Hydrogen Solutions
Air Liquide is a key player in the burgeoning hydrogen energy sector, offering expertise in hydrogen production, refueling infrastructure, and diverse end-user applications. The company develops sustainable energy solutions across transportation, material handling, and electrical power generation. For transportation, hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles provide a clean alternative, generating zero emissions, particulate matter, or noise, with a range of 450 kilometers and rapid refueling times. In material handling, hydrogen-powered fleets for forklifts and pallet trucks enhance productivity and significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Furthermore, Air Liquide provides solutions for biogas valorization and biomethane liquefaction, converting waste sources into clean, renewable natural gas for use in electricity, heating, or transport sectors. Hydrogen also contributes to energy resilience through fuel cell applications and storage solutions for isolated sites.
Innovation and Advanced Technologies
Innovation is central to Air Liquide's strategy, supported by six innovation campuses and a dedicated team of 6,500 employees, leading to approximately one patent filing per day. The Group leverages digital technologies, analyzing 3.5 million data points daily to optimize processes and develop new solutions. Notable technological advancements include Cryocap'u2122 FG for capturing CO2 from industrial fumes, advanced Air Separation Units, and the Electrolyzer Gigafactory developed in partnership with Siemens Energy. Air Liquide also makes substantial investments to support the semiconductor market, reinforcing its leadership in electronics through new manufacturing plants for advanced materials like Molybdenum and large-scale electrolyzer projects such as ELYgator in the Netherlands. These efforts contribute to the Group's goal of reducing CO2 emissions, demonstrating a -11% reduction compared to 2020.
