In a world where sustainability is a priority across all sectors, healthcare is no exception. Granollers General Hospital has taken a step forward in this area with the implementation of an innovative oxygen generation system for medical use. This initiative, developed by GasN2, not only optimizes oxygen supply but also reduces the facility’s carbon footprint and improves its energy efficiency.
A Sustainable and Efficient Solution
The need for a constant supply of oxygen is fundamental in any hospital. Until now, many hospitals relied on transported liquid oxygen, a process that involved high costs and CO2 emissions. With this new system, Granollers General Hospital can generate oxygen on-site, thereby reducing dependence on external suppliers and improving its energy autonomy.
This change not only represents a significant reduction in emissions associated with oxygen transport, but also optimizes the use of the hospital’s resources, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the ONU.
Greater Safety and Quality of Care
In addition to its contribution to sustainability, this new system improves hospital safety. Having oxygen generated on-site minimizes the risks associated with transport logistics, thus ensuring a constant supply, especially in health crisis situations.
This improvement not only increases hospital efficiency but also strengthens the quality of care for patients.
An Initiative as Part of a Strategic Plan
This initiative is part of the Hospital’s “Healthy Plus” Strategic Plan, which seeks to implement sustainable and innovative actions to improve hospital services and reduce the center’s ecological footprint. Collaboration between the Infrastructure and General Services Department and various multidisciplinary teams has been key to the success of this implementation.
GasN2: A Benchmark in Sustainable Solutions
GasN2, the company responsible for developing this system, has been a key player in the production and supply of industrial gases, among others. Our commitment to innovative technological solutions has allowed us to establish ourselves as a benchmark in the sector, expanding our international presence and collaborating with hospitals and other industries to implement advanced gas generation systems.
A Greener Future for Healthcare
The implementation of this system at Granollers General Hospital is a clear example of how innovation can contribute to sustainability in the healthcare sector. This project not only guarantees a more efficient supply of oxygen, but also reinforces the hospital’s commitment to a more sustainable and resilient healthcare model in the face of future challenges.
With initiatives like this, the healthcare sector is positioning itself as a key player in the fight against climate change, demonstrating that innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand to improve essential quality and protect the environment.
