Air Liquide SA on Monday said that it signed a long-term power purchase agreement with TotalEnergies SE for a total capacity of 15 megawatts of offshore wind electricity in Belgium.

The French industrial-gas company said it will power part of its gas production assets in the country with the renewable energy TotalEnergies will supply from a wind farm located in the Belgian North Sea.

The contract, which started on June 1, lasts 15 years. Over the duration of the contract, the electricity generated is set to save up to 270,000 tons of carbon-dioxide emissions, according to Air Liquide.

The agreement was signed through TotalEnergies' energy supply affiliate in Belgium, Lampiris.
