In 2025, Air Liquide expanded its long-term low-carbon power purchase agreements (PPAs), securing approximately 3 TWh of additional annual low-carbon electricity, up from 2.5 TWh in 2024. The agreements are primarily in regions with carbon-intensive power grids, including China and South Africa, and mark Air Liquide's entry into the Indian market.

In collaboration with Sasol, the company aims to source nearly 700 MW of renewable electricity for its Secunda facility in South Africa. As of 2024, over 40% of Air Liquide's total electricity purchases were from low-carbon sources.

The company's decarbonisation strategy also includes asset optimisation and carbon capture. By 2027, existing PPAs are expected to reduce emissions by approximately 3.5 million tonnes of CO2 annually. In its first-half 2025 report, Air Liquide revealed a €4.6 billion investment backlog, with 40% dedicated to energy transition projects.
