Messer Plans $50M Air Separation Unit, Powered By the Texas Sun
Messer announced a $50 million investment to build a large-scale air separation unit (ASU) in McGregor, Texas. The new ASU will operate substantially off of energy supplied from an onsite solar panel array. It is the first Messer plant to be powered by a co-located renewable energy source, helping to reduce carbon footprint. This effort aligns with the company’s core values of environmental protection and sustainability.
“With our expansion in Texas and the inclusion of solar energy, Messer is focused on sustainability and environmental protection,” said Jens Luehring, president & CEO, Messer Americas. “As we move to a renewable-based future, this investment is integral to our green energy initiatives as we continue to serve our customers with a reliable source of supply.”
