Regulatory News:
Air Liquide (Paris:AI) signed 48 new long-term On-Site
contracts for its Industrial Merchant business line in 2021. The
gas volumes the Group will provide in the context of these new
contracts are twice those provided within the contracts signed in
2020. On-Site solutions reduce CO2 emissions and contribute to the
Group’s Sustainable Development objectives.
Over the past three years, the Group has reported a constant
growth of the number of its new long-term On-Site contracts signed
within its Industrial Merchant business line. Within the context of
these new contracts, Air Liquide will invest, build and operate
production units at its customers’ sites. The 48 new On-Site
contracts signed in 2021 will mainly serve our customers with
nitrogen, oxygen or hydrogen in the energy, waste and water
treatment, secondary electronics, mining and manufacturing growing
markets.
All of these new production units will be digitally connected
and remotely monitored by Air Liquide, allowing for predictive
maintenance of these sites which helps increase the reliability of
operations. Through data analytics, Air Liquide can work
proactively with its customers to optimize the gas production and
maintenance operations.
Producing large volumes of gases directly on the client’s site
contributes to Air Liquide’s Sustainable Development objectives, in
terms of emissions and road safety. It eliminates the need to
liquefy gases for their transportation, which saves energy, but
also reduces the number of trucks and mileage needed to deliver
these products to the customer.
Matthieu Giard, Vice President and Executive Committee
Member of the Air Liquide Group, supervising the Hydrogen
activities and the Industrial Merchant business line, said : “
The new record number of On-Site contracts in 2021 is coupled with
a doubling of the volumes provided compared to those of last year’s
new contracts. This illustrates our customers’ confidence in Air
Liquide’s capacity to provide a competitive and reliable supply of
industrial gases over the long term. Our technological expertise
and innovation are now enhanced by the Group’s digital capabilities
and data analytics. On-Site gas supply contributes both to the
Group long term performance and Sustainable Development objectives
as it reduces carbon emissions. ”
