B) 🎯 WHY THIS IS POWERFUL (INDUSTRIAL GAS SPECIFIC)

This version directly reflects The Industrial Gas 100 Years Logic:

• Energy cost → margin → FCF (core IG driver)
• Utilization of plants & tanks → cash flow multiplier
• Contract structure → hidden profit lever
• Asset-light shift → ROCE + FCF expansion

👉 This is NOT generic — this is industrial gas board logic – Josef David
