Air Liquide Partners with 20 Hospitals to Cut Carbon Emissions

Air Liquide Healthcare has signed contracts with 20 hospitals to minimize their carbon emissions. This initiative, under the ECO ORIGIN™ offer, aims to supply certified low-carbon medical gases. Since its launch in early 2024, the company reached agreements with 19 healthcare facilities across Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, and Spain, and initiated its first collaboration in Brazil.

The healthcare industry contributes to 4% of global CO2 emissions. In Europe, new policies push healthcare centers toward sustainable practices. The ECO ORIGIN™ solution provides gases produced with renewable energy, reducing the carbon footprint by more than 70% on average compared to standard supplies.

Diana Schillag, from Air Liquide's Executive Committee, highlights the strategic alignment of these efforts with the company's ADVANCE plan, emphasizing innovation and sustainability. This approach helps healthcare partners manage gas supplies while addressing environmental concerns.
