Abstract
About two years have now passed since the last series of articles on the subject of sustainability [1]. Are all heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) and water systems now highly efficient? This article provides new material to continue the journey towards CO2 neutrality in pharmaceutical facilities. In Oct 2023, a new ISPE Good Practice Guide on Process Gases was published [2]. The guide deals with compressed air generation in pharmaceutical facilities and pharmaceutical gases. This article explains what has changed since the last edition and why it is worth reading the new ISPE guide.
