Air Liquide has announced an agreement to purchase 50 megawatts (MW) of renewable wind electricity from a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, to supply a significant portion of its growing industrial gas production assets in Texas.
The wind farm is under development in Menard County, Texas, and is scheduled to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2020. The wind farm will enable Air Liquide to offer low-carbon products to customers at competitive prices.
The wind-generated electricity will save Air Liquide 1.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions over the term of the agreement.
