Air Liquide SA (AI) Climate Transition Analysis
Report Petrochemicals Air Liquide Chemicals, Shareholder Engagement PT0088From 2019 to 2021 Air Liquide experienced a weighted absolute increase of 16% in total Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. Without further mitigation, Air Liquide will overshoot SBTs by a significant 243%, failing to align with a 1.5°C pathway by 2030 or a well-below 2°C warming scenario by 2035. However, Planet Tracker does not anticipate that this will happen if the company follows through with its forward-looking disclosed initiatives.
Air Liquide is expected to align with a 1.5°C warming scenario by 2030.
Press ReleaseWhile Air Liquide seems poised for a 1.5°C pathway, Planet Tracker recommends a close monitoring of the company’s climate transition investments outcomes, to ensure its progress toward the intended target.

Deep sea mining could be worse for the climate than land ores
Press Release Deep Sea Mining GreenwashingAs decisions over the future viability of deep sea mining are under review, Planet Tracker’s latest report ‘The Climate Myth of Deep Sea Mining’ examines deep sea mining companies’ claim that mining polymetallic nodules could be a low carbon alternative to mining on land.
The Climate Myth of Deep Sea Mining
Report Deep Sea Mining Financial Risk & Reward, Greenwashing, Policy Equity PT0087Comparing three academic lifecycle assessment studies evaluating the ‘nodule-to-commodity’ climate impact of metals produced from polymetallic nodules and land ores reveals that deep sea nodules could have 28% higher or 76% lower climate impact than land ores. Planet Tracker believes that such a marked variation in results is not a good enough basis for making decisions about the future of deep sea mining.
