Gases play a pivotal role in daily life - from the semiconductors in smartphones, to the launching of spacecraft, to the energy transition. Oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen are essential small molecules for life, matter, and energy. Hydrogen, the periodic table’s first element, offers several benefits as a renewable energy source. Considered the “swiss army knife of sustainability”, energy-dense hydrogen can be used for: mobility, as a fuel in hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles; as backup power, to provide resiliency for the electric grid; and to provide storage for intermittent power sources such as wind and solar.
A pacesetter in the industrial gas industry, Air Liquide is inventing the future. With over 120 years of experience, a presence in 75 countries and serving nearly 4 million patients worldwide, Air Liquide is a company with a profound sense of social responsibility. It holds long-term passion for unlocking progress through innovation, R&D and technology, and developing its people so they can fulfill their potential. This passion is put into action in the energy transition, the transformation of the healthcare sector, and developing the technologies and markets of the future.
“Air Liquide will continue to be driven to meet the needs of the world around us in a sustainable way, to develop the technologies, and to drive the innovations that not only will allow us to do the things we do every day, but to continue to think about the future and the needs of the energy transition.”
-Michael J. Graff, Chairman & CEO at American Air Liquide Holdings, Inc., and Executive Vice President at Air Liquide Group
Air Liquide recently invested over $250 million and inaugurated a new liquid hydrogen plant in North Las Vegas, Nevada. “We produce 30 tons a day of liquid hydrogen for the fuel cell electric vehicle market in the west coast,” explains Adam Peters, CEO of North America at Air Liquide, “the hydrogen we produce from this facility has the ability to supply 40,000 fuel cell electric vehicles in California.” What’s more, Air Liquide also operates the world's largest operational PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) electrolyzer at Becancour, Quebec to produce low-carbon hydrogen for the mobility and industrial markets in the Northeast part of the U.S. and Canada.
Beyond the energy transition, Air Liquide is committed to acting for all. As the world’s largest medical oxygen supplier, Air Liquide supported the healthcare industry in its fight against COVID-19 through the reliable supply of both medical oxygen and medical equipment, such as respirators. The COVID-19 crisis put into stark relief the importance of medical oxygen supply regardless of geography or economic status. Mr. Graff elaborates, “we very quickly mobilized our capabilities and our employees to ensure patients’ lives could be saved by having the right quantities of medical oxygen available.” Acting for all also means advancing our understanding of our planet and those around us. This is the goal of the space industry, and through its support of spacecraft launches globally, Air Liquide is an active player in mankind’s pursuit of the stars.
