The world of energy is in the midst of deep change and hydrogen is one of the solutions that offer a response to the challenges of clean transportation: reducing greenhouse gas emissions, pollution in our cities, and dependency on oil-based fuels. Air Liquide is actively involved in setting up this industry and enabling the widespread use of hydrogen as a clean energy.

Amid growing environmental awareness and with consumers increasingly sensitive to poor air quality in cities, the transportation sector has to undergo rapid and profound change. In Europe, 20% of CO2 emissions originate from road transportation. Despite some improvements in fuel consumption efficiency in recent years, these emissions are still rising, mainly due to increasing road freight traffic. Air Liquide wants to help road transportation companies to significantly cut their polluting emissions.

Air Liquide is a committed stakeholder across the full span of the biomethane value chain for a sustainable transport, from biogas supply and purification for biomethane production (which can be directly injected into the gas network) to distribution to the final client with bioNGV or clean multi-energy stations.

In a world where the reduction of carbon emissions is a daily challenge for everyone, Air Liquide is working on developing innovative technologies and solutions for reducing carbon emissions during the hydrogen production process. Although hydrogen is mainly used today for industrial purposes in chemistry and refinery, it is increasingly used in other sectors, such as clean transportation.

The issues of climate changes and the need for an energy transition have been making headlines for several years. The public has recognized the need to shift to a new energy mix, where clean and renewable energies have their place. Air Liquide is aware of these issues and is working actively on providing clean transportation solutions.

Refrigerated transportation has evolved and cryogenic technologies are at the forefront of the change.
