Uto from Lawson announced that with the support of the Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), the retailer is opening the first pilot CO₂ transcritical store in Peta Barat in Jakarta, Indonesia, on 7 February. This store will provide the retailer with a lot of useful experience and data on energy consumption of CO₂ systems in tropical climates. Uto pointed out that the introduction of CO₂ in warmer climates by Lawson and other retailers could provide a double-dividend, bringing the costs down while being friendly to the environment at the same time.
