- Investment exceeds €250 million for semiconductor gas units in Dresden.
- Facilities to be operational by 2027.
- Units will produce nitrogen, oxygen, argon, hydrogen, helium, and CO2.
- Electricity for operations will be 100% renewable.
Investment and Location
Air Liquide is set to invest over €250 million in new industrial gas production units located in Dresden, Germany, within the "Silicon Saxony" region. This area is a key European hub for semiconductor technologies.
Production Facilities
The project includes the construction of three Air Separation Units, two hydrogen production units, and related infrastructure. These facilities will supply ultra-pure nitrogen, oxygen, argon, hydrogen, helium, and CO2 directly to a major semiconductor manufacturer.
Operational Timeline
The new production units are expected to be operational by 2027. They will utilize digital technologies, standardization, and modularization to ensure a stable and reliable supply of gases.
Environmental Impact
The on-site production of carrier gases aims to reduce the environmental footprint by minimizing carbon emissions from gas transportation. Additionally, the facilities will operate using 100% renewable electricity, aligning with sustainability goals.
