A-Gas Americas Adding Second Plasma Arc ODS Destruction Unit
Increased capacity will be applied for developing California carbon offsets
A-Gas Americas has announced a multimillion dollar investment for a second plasma arc destruction unit for ozone depleting substances (ODS) at its Bowling Green, Ohio, production facility.
The new state-of-the-art destruction unit has a start-up date of early 2016. It will double the available ODS destruction volume within A-Gas Americas. This increased capacity will be utilized by A-Gas for the development of high-quality, California carbon offsets (CCOs) to be used by entities with compliance obligations under California’s landmark greenhouse gas (GHG) cap-and-trade program. The addition of this second destruction unit also gives A-Gas the ability to offer needed destruction capacity to third-party CCO project developers.
