LONDON, Sept 22 (Reuters) - The carbon dioxide shortage that
has struck Britain is spilling over into the rest of Europe,
Nippon Gases, one of the world's largest distributors of the gas
has warned, the Financial Times reported.
Nippon Gases, which sold almost $1.5 billion of industrial
gases on the continent last year, said "other countries in
Europe will also suffer shortages" of CO2, estimating that its
supplies had fallen 50 per cent across the region, the FT said.
Japanese-owned Nippon Gases, which supplies Scandinavian and
western European nations including Sweden, France and Germany,
said nuclear power stations, meat production and medical
purposes were top of the list, the FT said.
