Overview
Air Liquide is the world leader in gases for industry, health and the environment, and is present in over 75 countries with 42,300 employees. Oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and rare gases have been at the core of Air Liquide’s activities since its creation in 1902. Using these molecules, Air Liquide continuously reinvents its business, anticipating the needs of current and future markets. The Group innovates to enable progress, to achieve dynamic growth and a consistent performance. Innovative technologies that curb polluting emissions, lower industry’s energy use, recover and reuse natural resources or develop the energies of tomorrow, such as hydrogen, biofuels or photovoltaic energy… Oxygen for hospitals, homecare, fighting nosocomial infections… Air Liquide combines many products and technologies to develop valuable applications and services not only for its customers but also for society. Air Liquide explores the best that air can offer to preserve life, staying true to its sustainable development approach. In 2009, the Group’s revenues amounted to €12 billion, of which almost 80% were earned outside France.
At the Scotford complex, oxygen and nitrogen gases are produced for local industry along with liquid oxygen, nitrogen and argon for broader distribution throughout Alberta and the U.S. A cogeneration plant produces electricity and steam for Shell Chemicals and Air Liquide’s internal uses, while supplying any surplus power to the Alberta grid. A CO2 plant recovers and purifies by-product carbon dioxide from Shell’s plant for enhanced recovery of oil and gas, and food-grade applications.
