Osaka Gas has said that it may withdraw from a thermal power project planned with Marubeni , citing signs of nuclear restarts and increasing calls to reduce CO2 emissions from power generation.

The Nikkei newspaper reported that Osaka Gas plans to withdraw from a $250 million power project which will use coal as fuel and is expected to start running by March 2019. Marubeni will examine the feasibility of the project while seeking a new partner.
