Do you know that Air Liquide has started working in the coal chemical industry?

Air Liquide used to be involved in air separation, and now it has also started working on ammonia synthesis projects. Is anyone aware of this?
Reply to 1# Xiao Bin from the coal chemical industry: Air separation units are generally used in ammonia synthesis processes, whether they rely on oil-based feedstocks or the current coal-based feedstocks. It doesn’t seem too unusual. Currently, air separation units are widely used in various factories such as those involved in coal pyrolysis, steel production, and gas power generation. They are very popular, and it is beneficial to learn about them if one has the opportunity.
Today, ammonia production processes that utilize slurry coal gasification, pulverized coal gasification, and Ruhr process gasification all require pure oxygen, which is obtained through air separation.
After Lurgi is acquired by Air Liquide, the syngas project will become another source of profit for Air Liquide
