Air Liquide's reported carbon emissions
Air Liquide, a leading industrial gas manufacturer based in France, has set ambitious climate commitments. For 2025, the company reported approximately 58.4 billion kg CO2e in total emissions. This includes roughly 14.6 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions and approximately 19.6 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions. Scope 3 emissions accounted for approximately 24.3 billion kg CO2e.
Air Liquide aims to reduce its carbon intensity by 30% by 2025, compared to a 2015 baseline. Furthermore, the company is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. A key milestone in this long-term strategy is a 33% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions by 2035, compared to a 2020 baseline, with an anticipated inflection point around 2025.
In line with these goals, Air Liquide has demonstrated progress, with Scope 1 & 2 CO2 equivalent emissions showing an 11% reduction compared to 2020, indicating they are ahead of schedule for their 2025 inflection target. Their climate commitments are underpinned by a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 35% by 2035, from a 2021 baseline, as verified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). They also commit to a 60% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of fossil fuel products sold within the same timeframe.
