Houston/USA – Linde has recently announced that it is doubling the capacity of its Freeport, Texas, carbon dioxide (CO₂) production facility by adding a second CO₂ liquefaction plant. Starting up in 2027, the new plant will liquefy crude CO₂ captured from Meglobal America’s Oyster Creek ethylene glycol facility, which Linde also supplies with oxygen from its Freeport air separation plant.

The increased capacity will help Linde meet growing industry demand for reliable CO₂ supply across diverse applications, including carbonating beverages, preserving food quality, manufacturing dry ice, producing low carbon fuels and chemical synthesis processes. These applications demand a reliable supply of CO₂ that meets rigorous safety and quality standards.

Linde’s Freeport CO₂ complex is the first CO₂ liquefaction facility of its kind in the United States to receive the ISCC Plus certification from the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification. This third-party certification demonstrates Linde’s commitment to sustainability by its capture and re-use of generated CO₂, which would otherwise be emitted into the atmosphere.

“Today’s announcement underscores Linde’s commitment to supporting industrial growth across the Gulf Coast,” said Amer Akhras, Vice President South Region, Linde. "Our investment further strengthens Linde's robust CO₂ network, enabling reliable supply to customers throughout the region while positioning us for future growth."
