Showa Denko Gas Products Co., Ltd. (SGP), a consolidated subsidiary of Showa Denko (SDK), has established a new plant to produce liquefied carbon dioxide (CO2) in its Oita Plant located in the premise of SDKâs Oita Petrochemical Complex, and started shipment of products.
Start-up of the Oita Plant has given SGP an additional capacity to produce 15,000 tons of liquefied carbon dioxide per year. The start-up of the Oita Plant enabled SGP to reinforce its system to supply CO2 products in a stable manner.
As a result of the establishment of the new facility, SGP has become the 12th member company to form the community of SDKâs Oita Petrochemical Complex. SGPâs project to establish Oita Plant has been acknowledged by relevant organizations that it is eligible for the âProgram to subsidize establishment of corporate bases in Oita Cityâ? sponsored by Oita City and the âProgram to promote establishment of corporate bases that can lead growth of regional economiesâ? sponsored by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) under the provision of Regional Future Investment Promotion Act.
