The agreement also covers the operation of a gas separation plant at the refinery site, which recovers carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the refinery’s flue gases for resale to the company's customers.

The location covers the full spectrum of products, ranging from air gases, carbon dioxide, hydrogen and rare gases to acetylene and specialty gas mixtures. At the Remote Operation Center (ROC) in Leuna, 116 plants across Europe are remotely monitored and operated. Linde has invested more than € 500 million in the location since 1990.
