Linde Europe North launches Linde Green, a new product line of liquefied gases with zero-carbon impact, using renewable energy and fuel in production and for transports, together with climate-compensation.
“Linde is proud to offer a product portfolio of liquefied gases with zero-carbon footprint that will help our customers take the next step and improve their environmental performance” said Olof Källgren, Director, Sales & Marketing Europe North. “In addition,
Linde Green will strengthen Linde’s efforts to reach its sustainability targets by 2028.”
The Linde Green portfolio includes liquefied oxygen, nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide. To produce the Linde Green products, we use a green source, either air or recovered CO2 e.g. extracted as a side stream from bioethanol production or chemical processes.
In the regional production and distribution system, electricity from wind and solar with Guarantees of Origin for production, and renewable fuels for transports will be used, equivalent to the quantities of Linde Green products sold.
All together this reduces the carbon footprint of greenhouse gases (GHG) emission with up to 95%. Remaining GHG emission will be offset in certified forestry projects.
Customers will receive a full-year report on their CO2 emissions savings by using the Linde Green gases compared to conventional ones.
“Linde Green is a unique new offering. As the Linde Green gases have a zero-carbon footprint, they enable our customers to further improve their competitive advantage from the processes that utilize gases”, says Olof Källgren.
Through our gases, application know-how, unique solutions, and services, we help our customers improve their productivity, energy efficiency, and environmental performance. At the same time, we are minimizing our own environmental resource intensity.
At Linde, we continuously live our mission of making our world more productive. Sustainability is at the core of our business. With Linde Green we take the next step!
This is how it works
− Same product quality and product reliability - just without the greenhouse gas emissions
− We use a green source: air or recovered CO2, e.g. extracted as a side stream from a bioethanol production or from chemical processes
− Wind and solar energy with Guarantees of Origin is used in the production system for the products
− The transports of the products will trigger purchase of renewable fuel into the distribution system
− Climate compensation of remaining emissions in certified forestry projects
− Linde Green is third-party audited and verified
− Customers receive a full-year report on CO2-emission savings
