Here are 3 Sustainability Markets where Industrial Gas Companies can expand using existing core competencies (production, distribution, engineering, compliance):
♻️ 1. Green Hydrogen Infrastructure
✅ Why it fits:
- Leverages existing hydrogen production, purification, and transport expertise
- Existing client base (steel, chemical, mobility) requires clean fuel
- Heavy industry decarbonization requires massive hydrogen scaling
🧩 Core Competency Match:
- Electrolysis integration
- Storage and pipeline infrastructure
- Safety, compliance, and distribution
💡 Strategic Move:
Develop regional H2 hubs and partner with mobility, steel, and power players.
🌱 2. Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) – Greenhouses & Vertical Farms
✅ Why it fits:
- CO₂ enrichment for plant growth = proven use of industrial gases
- Demand for local, low-emission food supply chains is growing fast
🧩 Core Competency Match:
- CO₂ delivery, gas mixing, safety systems
- Monitoring, IoT, and automation integration
💡 Strategic Move:
Build long-term contracts with greenhouse farms for bundled gas + tech service.
💊 3. Sustainable Healthcare & HomeCare Oxygen-as-a-Service
✅ Why it fits:
- Rising aging populations need oxygen therapy
- Climate-resilient healthcare systems require decentralized supply
🧩 Core Competency Match:
- Home oxygen delivery, medical-grade gas quality, regulatory know-how
- Logistics, refill cycles, and emergency backup solutions
💡 Strategic Move:
NEED HELPLaunch asset-light “O₂ as-a-Service” models in emerging and aging markets.
