Green gas facility construction by Air Liquide in Germany, supporting European chip industry's green transition.
In an exciting development for the European semiconductor industry, Air Liquide, a global leader in gases, technologies, and services for industries, has announced plans to build a state-of-the-art gas production facility in Dresden, Germany. The facility, scheduled to be operational by 2027, will be located in the heart of Germany's "Silicon Saxony" and the city of Dresden.
The facility will be a significant addition to the region, housing three air separation units, two hydrogen production units, and associated infrastructure. Air Liquide Deutschland GmbH will be responsible for the construction execution of these plants, aiming to support the European semiconductor industry.
The facility will produce a wide range of gases, including ultra-pure nitrogen, oxygen, argon, hydrogen, helium, and carbon dioxide. These gases will be crucial for the semiconductor manufacturing process, with the facility expected to supply most of these carrier gases on-site.
Air Liquide's commitment to sustainability is evident in the facility's design. The site will operate on 100% renewable electricity, a move that is expected to reduce emissions from gas transportation significantly. This initiative aligns with Air Liquide's ambition to operate in the European hub while minimising its environmental footprint.
The facility's strategic location in the heart of Europe will enable it to efficiently serve the European semiconductor industry, further strengthening the region's position in the global semiconductor market. Air Liquide hopes this investment will contribute to the growth and resilience of the European semiconductor industry.
This development is a testament to Air Liquide's commitment to innovation, sustainability, and supporting industries critical to the global economy. The Dresden facility is set to play a crucial role in the production of semiconductors, a sector that continues to grow in importance in the 21st century.
