Linde Signs Six Renewable PPAs for 0.63 TWh Across Europe, Africa and India

Industrial gases and engineering company Linde has signed six new power purchase agreements (PPAs) to procure renewable electricity for its operations across Europe, Africa and India, strengthening its low-carbon energy sourcing strategy.

The agreements cover operations in Spain, Greece, South Africa and India, with the renewable electricity to be supplied from newly developed wind and solar energy projects. Collectively, the PPAs are expected to provide approximately 0.63 TWh of renewable electricity annually.

According to the company, the new agreements support its objective of increasing the use of low-carbon energy across its global operations. Linde said low-carbon electricity currently accounts for around 50% of its global power consumption, while its active renewable power procurement has increased 2.7-fold since its 2021 baseline, rising from 2.8 TWh to 7.6 TWh in 2025.

“By continuing to actively secure new sources of renewable power, we are accelerating progress toward our target to reduce absolute emissions by 35% by 2035 while supporting our customers in reducing their own emissions,” said Erin Catapano, Vice President, Sustainability at Linde.

The company also highlighted its broader decarbonisation impact, stating that in 2025 it helped customers avoid approximately 98 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e) emissions, more than double the greenhouse gas emissions generated by its own global operations.

Linde added that its sustainability strategy and performance continue to be recognised through inclusion in leading ESG benchmarks, including the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Indices, FTSE4Good Index Series, and the S&P Sustainability Yearbook.
