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