Nitrogen and Oxygen Air Separation Plant helps to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere which is in line with the company’s Net Zero Emission goal. The new air separation unit will help reduce the emission of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere as it is located near the point of use, hence, eliminates the need to transport which will effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
