European industrial gases: innovation, safety, and regulation

In this episode of The 1895 Podcast, we are joined by Philippe Cornille, General Secretary of EIGA, to examine the evolving landscape of the European industrial gas sector.

From navigating political shifts and regulatory harmonisation to tackling safety concerns, we explore the key challenges shaping 2024. Philippe shares insights on the lasting impact of COVID-19 on medical gases, the growing importance of advocacy, and how digitalisation and AI are driving safer operations.

We also discuss why the industrial gas sector must become more visible and proactive in addressing regulatory hurdles—and what it will take to shape its future.
