Solvay has developed on-site fluorine gas production units to decrease greenhouse gas emissions in the photovoltaic (PV) and semiconductor industry.

Fluorine (F2) production units enable substitution of the potent greenhouse gas Nitrogen trifluoride (NF3).

The company announced that it is going to test a new on-site electronic grade F2 production unit at its industrial site in Onsan, Korea. After testing, it is aimed for the unit to be installed at a customer site.
