How can we help limit global warming?

Limiting global warming in line with the 2015 Paris Agreement requires fast unprecedented transformation。根据气候变化（IPCC）的政府间议会，实现碳中立性并含有2050年的气候管制，行业以及其他部门（能源，运输，农业等）将需要大大减少CO₂排放。作为负责人，液化空气长期以来一直努力保护地球。2018年底，本集团宣布最雄心勃勃Climate objectives与2015年相比，其行业致力于将其活动的碳强度减少30％，与2015年相比，Aisal Liquide也打算通过帮助其工业客户降低其碳排放并通过开发新的碳排放来全局贡献更可持续的世界betway旗舰版下载支持其低碳转型的技术和技能。最近对低碳氢和生物甲烷的投资表明了这一承诺。

以自己的行动行事

Air Liquide has started by reducing its own environmental footprint, mainly through clean manufacturing in compliance with the highest standards, by lowering the electricity consumption of its industrial processes and by reducing the carbon intensity of its factories and equipment. The Group’s commitments are demonstrated in several projects initiated in 2019. Air Liquide has contributed to the development of a windfarm in Texas to supply its industrial gas production plants with renewable energy, avoiding 1.5 million tons of CO₂emissions for the duration of the agreement. The Group is also drastically reducing its carbon emissions by investing in new production units and shutting down its older, energy-intensive facilities. This is particularly the case in Russia and the United States, where Air Liquide is building leading-edge air separation units (ASU) to supply its customers, Severstal and Methanex, with the help of sustainable, highperformance solutions. Similarly, the Group is building a world-scale latest-generation hydrogen production plant at the Tabangao refinery in the Philippines. Owned and operated by Air Liquide, it will be paired with a capture and liquefaction unit for CO₂initial discharge, which could then be directed to other uses to reduce direct carbon emissions

In addition in the steel industry, Air Liquide and thyssenkrupp Steel have together launched a pioneering project: for the first time, hydrogen will be injected on a large scale to partly replace the coal used in the blast furnace during steel production. After full-scale deployment at its Duisburg plant in Germany, thyssenkrupp Steel is targeting a 20% reduction in carbon emissions from the steelmaking process. As CO₂emissions remain a growing concern for industrial companies, Air Liquide has also joined Northern Lights, a full-scale carbon capture and storage (CSS) project on the Norwegian continental shelf. Handling large volumes of emissions, CSS offers an effective way to decarbonize industry. The Northern Lights project could become the world’s first storage facility to receive manufacturing gas waste from different European countries.
