BIG, a Thai low-carbon industrial gas manufacturer, has joined hands with PTT Plc to develop a new air separation unit in Rayong, aimed at further strengthening an eco-friendly process used to produce low-carbon gases.

The facility, known as MAP2, comes after its predecessor, MAP1, which has significantly driven industries towards net-zero targets aimed at achieving a balance between greenhouse gas emissions and absorption.

The air separation unit utilises cold energy from the liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification process in BIG's industrial gas production.

"The success of MAP1, which delivers low-carbon industrial gases, including low-carbon oxygen, low-carbon nitrogen, and low-carbon argon, enables industries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and move towards net-zero goals, and also offers solutions and technologies that help customers and industries reduce their carbon footprint," said Ramani Velu, managing director of BIG.
