Industrial Decarbonization: Process Optimization

Unlocking Efficiency. Reducing Emissions.

Improving efficiency in energy-intensive industrial processes is one of the most immediate - and achievable - steps toward net-zero. At Linde, we offer a comprehensive portfolio of industrial gases, including oxygen-based solutions, that drive process efficiency and significantly lower COâ‚‚ emissions across industrial sectors.

Meeting the Challenge of High-Temperature Processes

Reducing emissions in industries reliant on high-temperature operations - such as steel, glass, and lime production - presents unique technical challenges. While long-term decarbonization pathways evolve, meaningful impact can begin today. By improving process efficiency with targeted gas technologies, manufacturers can reduce emissions, manage costs, and enhance operational stability.

Our Expertise: Oxygen for More Efficient Operations

Linde is a recognized leader in oxy-fuel technologies and process intensification. Our solutions replace or enrich air with oxygen to increase combustion efficiency, enabling customers to cut fuel consumption and emissions without major infrastructure changes.

Whether retrofitting existing equipment or designing new systems, our technologies - including OXYGON® and REBOX® - are designed to integrate seamlessly into industrial operations and deliver measurable results.

 

Key Benefits of Oxygen-Enhanced Processes

Reduced COâ‚‚ Emissions

Oxygen increases fuel efficiency, directly lowering carbon emissions by reducing fuel consumption. Oxy-fuel combustion technology can cut fuel use by 10% to 50%, delivering significant emission reductions in hard-to-abate industries like steelmaking, glass manufacturing, and lime production.

Improved Energy Efficiency

By enabling higher combustion temperatures, oxygen optimizes energy use and minimizes fuel waste. Process intensification helps industries achieve greater output with lower energy consumption, supporting sustainable manufacturing practices.

Cost Savings

Oxygen reduces the consumption of natural gas and other fuels, leading to lower energy costs. Additionally, it decreases carbon emissions and can extend the lifespan of combustion machinery to save on maintenance and replacement costs.

Seamless Integration

Oxygen-based technologies, such as Linde's OXYGON® and REBOX®, integrate seamlessly with existing systems, allowing industries to adopt these solutions with minimal operational disruption.

Real-World Impact Across Industries

From steel mills to glassworks, Linde is helping customers achieve tangible progress toward decarbonization. Our tailored process optimization solutions enable immediate gains—supporting the shift to cleaner operations while laying the foundation for long-term transformation.
