Paris/France – Air Liquide will invest up to 200 million dollars in Louisiana, U.S., to modernize and connect an Air Separation Unit (ASU) to its existing network. This investment also includes the expansion of its pipeline infrastructure by an additional 30 miles along the Gulf Coast. These enhancements supporting a long-term contract renewal with Dow will strengthen the Group's long-term relationship with them. Additionally, this reinforced network will position Air Liquide to support industrial growth in Louisiana.

In the context of a long-term renewal contract, Air Liquide will continue to supply oxygen and nitrogen to Dow’s St. Charles Operations site located in Taft, Louisiana. Site enhancements and extension of its Mississippi River pipeline system will allow Air Liquide to provide more efficient gas production and delivery. The construction is expected to be completed in early 2027.
