Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President Kenji Nagata; hereinafter "TNSC"), a Japanese industrial gas business company in the Nippon Sanso Holdings Group, has extended the range of raw material carbon dioxide (CO
2) concentrations applicable to CO
2 recovery equipment with a capacity of 10 tons per day, which it launched in April 2023, to enable CO
2 recovery from a wide range of CO
2 emission sources.

Background of Development
Following the global trend toward carbon neutrality by 2050, TNSC started marketing CO
2 recovery equipment with a capacity of 10 tons per day in April 2023 to support customers' decarbonization efforts. Since launch, we have received many inquiries from customers wanting to capture CO
2 from emission sources outside the specification range (raw material CO
2 concentration of 20-40%) of the CO
2 recovery equipment. To meet such customer needs, we have extended the range of recoverable CO
2 concentrations (up to 60%) by leveraging our accumulated gas separation and purification technologies. This will allow us to provide more customers with decarbonization solutions by capturing CO
2 emissions from a broader range of sources than previously possible.
CO2 recovery equipment specifications
Recovered CO2 amount：10 tons per day
Recovered CO2 concentration：98%
Raw material CO2 concentration：20%～60%
Equipment dimensions：14.5×5.35×2.75 m
TNSC is also committed to developing technologies to recover CO2 from low-concentration (less than 20%) raw material CO2 emission sources and will continuously contribute to achieving a carbon-neutral society by distributing CO2 recovery equipment with an extended application range to various customers.
