Messer recently opened its biggest CO2 recovery plant on the globe in Nanjing, China.

The plant has a capacity of 150 thousand tonnes per year and meets the highest demands for quality and energy efficiency. The gas can be used in the food industry, for example as the carbon dioxide in beverages.

This makes the company the most important provider of recycled CO2 in China. In addition to Nanjing, Messer had already commissioned one plant in Yunnan in 2014 and another in Sichuan in 2015. Messer is now recovering a total of 300 thousand tonnes of CO2 from industrial processes per year in China.

Now Messer is also commissioning a new technology centre for gas applications in Nanjing.
