Air Liquide to invest up to $200M in Louisiana to support industrial growth

(The Associated Press)

Air Liquide announced on Monday that it will invest up to $200 million in Louisiana to modernize and connect an Air Separation Unit (ASU) to its existing network. The 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, the reinforced network will position Air Liquide to support industrial growth in Louisiana.

Air Liquide will continue to supply oxygen and nitrogen to Dow’s St. Charles Operations site located in Taft. Site enhancements and extension of its Mississippi River pipeline system will allow Air Liquide to provide more efficient gas production and delivery. Construction is expected to be completed in early 2027. Read more.
