I got hold of a copy as well... I need to read it...

BTW, I think their entrance into CO2 will eat into Carbacid's market...

@Horton - I disagree... EABL set up their own CO2 plant... and BOC has other uses for CO2 not just food/beverages...

It will not be easy to fight Carbacid but BOC has Linde's expertise...

90% OF co2 is for the beverage industry.....mainly soft drinks...coz alcohol producers make their own co2 thru fermentation other uses are for dry ice and for fire extinguishing but the market there is quite small.

BOC's Kapsabet plant already puts them on a rear footing coz of distance...also by time they start harvesting commercially viable co2 for the food industry(the largest user of CO2), it will take at least 4-5years to get approval and etc

EABL, has been producing its own CO2 for years, but is still not enough to meet their requirements, so they still supplement with purchased co2.
There's also spectra international with molasses producing co2 bu agan, cant penetrate because of these LT contract carb holds with major consumers of co2
