#Chlorine is the backbone of many critical value chains. It enables safe drinking water, modern medicines, renewable energy technologies, and reliable food production. Because chlorine cannot be stored at scale or transported for long distances under strict European safety rules, strong local production is crucial to keep these value chains secure. At Nobian, we help strengthen Europe’s strategic autonomy by producing chlorine locally in the Netherlands and Germany using modern membrane technology. We supply ISCC PLUS certified chlorine, produced with 100% renewable energy, helping customers lower carbon footprints while keeping European supply chains resilient. Local European chlorine production is of strategic importance but only works if Europe can keep the industry competitive. However, Europe’s chlorine industry is under pressure. Today, roughly 70% of production costs are electricity costs. These high prices put European capacity at risk, and recent closures across industries highlight why maintaining domestic production capacity is crucial. Without strong domestic production, Europe risks losing control over critical value chains that are crucial to our economy, safety, and strategic autonomy.
