The Linde Group is set to further expand its gas supply infrastructure for GCL-Poly Energy Holdings, China’s largest producer of highly purified polycrystalline silicon (polysilicon).

Under the terms of the new agreement, recently signed by both partners, Linde will construct additional production and supply facilities for high-purity hydrogen (H2) at the Xuzhou Industrial Park.
