Carbon dioxide (CO2) refers to a naturally occurring chemical compound that is abundantly found in Earth’s atmosphere. It is manufactured from one carbon and two oxygen atoms bonded together. It is extracted from natural sources, such as volcanic outgassing, combustion of organic matter, and the respiration processes of living aerobic organisms. Besides this, it can be obtained through man-made sources by burning fossil fuels for power generation and transport usage.

CO2 is a colorless gas with a sharp odor and sour taste, non-toxic, and does not support combustion. It is non-flammable, denser than air, and easily dissolves in water to form a carbonic acid. It has a melting point of -55.6°C, a boiling point of -78.5°C, a density of 1.977g/ml, and a vapor density of 1.53. Apart from this, it reacts with alkalis to give carbonates and bicarbonates as a product.

At present, the rising utilization of CO2 in carbonated beverages, soft drinks, and beers to make them fizzy and enhance the flavor of drinks represent one of the key factors contributing to the growth of the market. Besides this, the growing demand for large quantities of solid CO2 in large-scale refrigeration in the form of dry ice is offering a favorable market outlook. Moreover, the increasing popularity of CO2 in promoting the growth of plants in greenhouses around the world is bolstering the growth of the market. Apart from this, the rising utilization of CO2 for the extraction of metals from ores across the globe is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. In line with this, the rising adoption of CO2 as a natural preservative to inhibit the development of bacteria and other microbes and increases the shelf life of a product is propelling the growth of the market. Furthermore, the increasing demand for CO2 as a propellant in aerosol cans to dispense products, such as whipped cream and cooking sprays, is strengthening the growth of the market.

Frequently Asked Questions

Capital requirements generally include land acquisition, construction, equipment procurement, installation, pre-operative expenses, and initial working capital. The total amount varies with capacity, technology, and location.

To start a carbon dioxide production business, one needs to conduct a market feasibility study, secure required licenses, arrange funding, select suitable land, procure equipment, recruit skilled labor, and establish a supply chain and distribution network.

Carbon dioxide production requires raw materials such as organic materials (fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas as well as biomass) and calcium carbonate (limestone).

A carbon dioxide factory typically requires CO2 gas recovery units, purification and dehydration systems, liquefaction and refrigeration equipment, storage tanks, compressors, and filling stations. Additional machinery includes heat exchangers, condensers, control panels, safety valves, and cylinders for distribution, supported by laboratory instruments for quality testing and monitoring of gas purity and pressure.

The main steps generally include:

  • Collection of raw gas or flue gas

  • Removal of impurities and moisture

  • Compression and cooling of purified gas

  • Liquefaction through controlled refrigeration process

  • Storage in insulated high-pressure tanks

  • Bottling or filling into cylinders

  • Quality testing and final distribution

Usually, the timeline can range from 12 to 24 months to start a carbon dioxide production plant, depending on factors like site development, machinery installation, environmental clearances, safety measures, and trial runs.

Challenges may include high capital requirements, securing regulatory approvals, ensuring raw material supply, competition, skilled manpower availability, and managing operational risks.

Typical requirements include business registration, environmental clearances, factory licenses, fire safety certifications, and industry-specific permits. Local/state/national regulations may apply depending on the location.

The top carbon dioxide producers are:

  • Saudi Aramco

  • Coal India

  • CHN Energy

  • ExxonMobil

  • Chevron

Profitability depends on several factors including market demand, production efficiency, pricing strategy, raw material cost management, and operational scale. Profit margins usually improve with capacity expansion and increased capacity utilization rates.

Cost components typically include:

  • Land and Infrastructure

  • Machinery and Equipment

  • Building and Civil Construction

  • Utilities and Installation

  • Working Capital

Break even in a carbon dioxide production business typically range from 3 to 6 years, depending on scale, regulatory compliance costs, raw material pricing, and market demand. Efficient production and export opportunities can help accelerate returns.

Governments may offer incentives such as capital subsidies, tax exemptions, reduced utility tariffs, export benefits, or interest subsidies to promote manufacturing under various national or regional industrial policies.

Financing can be arranged through term loans, government-backed schemes, private equity, venture capital, equipment leasing, or strategic partnerships. Financial viability assessments help identify optimal funding routes.
