What 大阪ガスリキッド（株） does

Osaka Gas Liquid Co., Ltd. (大阪ガスリキッド株式会社) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. (Daigas Group), established in 1991 to commercialize the cold thermal energy released during LNG regasification. The company operates five business segments: (1) Industrial Gas — manufacturing and sale of liquefied oxygen, nitrogen, argon, liquid CO2, high-purity methane, gas purifiers (Fine Purer series), dry ice cleaning equipment, microbubble nozzles, and aquaculture oxygen aeration (OXSERVE); (2) Powder Processing — cryogenic freeze crushing at -196°C using liquid nitrogen for resin (ISO 9001 certified) and food (FSSC 22000 certified) applications, plus ultra-low dew point resin pellet drying; (3) Hydrogen On-site (HYSERVE) — on-site hydrogen generation systems (HYSERVE-30/100/300X) producing 99.999%+ purity hydrogen from city gas or LPG via steam reforming + PSA, deployed at customer factories under zero-initial-investment service contracts; (4) Carbonic Acid — liquid CO2 and dry ice manufactured at Osaka (Sakai) and Niigata (Nagaoka) plants using LNG cold energy and domestically sourced CO2 from INPEX; and (5) Vietnam — industrial gas operations via minority stake in SIGVN (Binh Duong Province) and a Ho Chi Minh City representative office.

Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring HYSERVE service contracts (subscription-style), toll-processing fees for powder services (¥150,000/day for full food powder test crushing, ¥30,000/sample for initial judgment testing), and direct sales of industrial gases and gas equipment. Manufacturing is executed through wholly-owned subsidiaries (Kinki Tansan, Nagaoka Tansan, Cold Air Products, Krio Air, Gas Net) and a Vietnamese partner (SIGVN). The company has 27 employees at the parent level, is headquartered in Osaka, and serves enterprise customers including Suntory, Toyota, JFE継手, Nisshin Steel, Shinko Steel Stainless, Ushio Electric, and Katagi Foods. Its core technical differentiator is access to parent-group LNG cold energy, which roughly halves electricity consumption versus conventional industrial gas manufacturing and underpins pricing across the product portfolio.

Core offering

Osaka Gas Liquid manufactures and sells liquefied industrial gases (oxygen, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, high-purity methane), dry ice, and high-purity gas purification equipment, and operates the HYSERVE on-site hydrogen generation business. It also provides toll cryogenic powder processing services for resin and food manufacturers at -196°C using liquid nitrogen, leveraging the cold energy released during regasification of LNG imported by its parent Osaka Gas. The company sells a range of gas-application equipment (OXSERVE aquaculture aerators, Dry Ice Blast cleaners, microbubble nozzles, biogas purifiers) and runs an industrial gas business in southern Vietnam through SIGVN.

Product overview
