Messer, a Bridgewater-based industrial gas company, recently announced the long-term renewal of a CO2 purchase and sale agreement with LSB Industries Inc., a leading producer of industrial and agricultural chemicals. Messer is investing $9 million into the liquid CO2 plant at LSB’s Cherokee, Alabama, facility to upgrade the facility.
“This partnership with LSB Industries bolsters our nationwide CO2 network providing supply chain continuity to our customers,” Chris Ebeling, Messer’s executive vice president, sales & marketing, North America, said. “The efficiency upgrades for the plant modernization effort will add more molecules to our network and reduce CO2 emissions at the site in line with our sustainability goals.”
Messer, with its partner, LSB Industries, said it is proud to provide increased security of CO2 supply to its customers in the decades to come.
