Lawson's director Shinichirou Uto talked about the Japanese convenience store's plans to install CO2 in all new outlets and reduce energy consumption by 20% across all stores compared with FY2010. To achieve this, Lawson has addressed a knowledge gap by training 889 technicians, with the support of system manufacturers. Still, Uto noted that Japan still lags behind Europe in terms of CO2 transcritical installations (570 by the end of February) in its quest to become the number one natural refrigerant retailer in the world.
