Market Overview Q3 Ending September 2025

Europe: The decline can be attributed to several factors. On the supply side, a steady increase in CO₂ production from industrial sectors, especially in chemical manufacturing, contributed to the price dip. Additionally, the reduction in demand from energy sectors, due to lower consumption during the summer months, led to a drop in prices. Currency fluctuations also played a role in altering the dynamics of international trade within the EU, as a stronger euro facilitated the import of CO₂ from other regions at a lower cost. Moreover, stricter environmental regulations introduced across European nations led to the adoption of more efficient CO₂ capture technologies, further increasing supply and driving prices down.

North America: The rise can be attributed to various factors. On the demand side, the increasing use of CO₂ in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes led to a surge in prices. The oil and gas sector in the US and Canada witnessed increased activity in this area, which placed additional pressure on the market for CO₂. Supply constraints were also felt due to disruptions in key production facilities. Furthermore, the continued push for carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology investments in both countries influenced prices, as these processes require additional CO₂ to be stored underground. Currency exchanges, especially the depreciation of the Canadian dollar, further supported the pricing momentum.

Carbon Dioxide Industry Analysis

The global carbon dioxide industry size reached 256.27 Million Tons in 2024. By 2033, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 401.7 Million Tons, at a projected CAGR of 4.86% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by the increased demand for CO₂ in enhanced oil recovery, rising applications in food and beverage industries for carbonation, advancements in carbon capture technologies, and expanding industrial demand in manufacturing processes. 

Latest developments in the carbon dioxide industry:

• June 2025: A team of researchers at Rice University discovered a simple method to significantly improve the stability of electrochemical devices that convert carbon dioxide into useful fuels and chemicals. Their study tackled a major issue in CO₂ reduction systems, including salt buildup that clogs gas flow channels and causes premature device failure.
   
• April 2023: EXXONMOBIL announced its plan to store CO2 from the blue hydrogen complex of LINDE, California, U.S. The project is expected to capture 90% of CO2 emitted from the hydrogen production procedure.
   
• January 2023: POET announced its plans to construct a new facility at its bioprocessing location in Laddonia. The new facility aims to capture above 200 tons of CO2 per day and produce dry ice.

Product Description

Carbon dioxide, also represented at CO₂, is a colorless, odorless gas composed of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. It is a naturally occurring compound in the Earth's atmosphere and is a key component of the carbon cycle. CO₂ is formed through various natural processes, including respiration by animals and plants, decomposition of organic matter, and volcanic eruptions. Additionally, human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), deforestation, and industrial processes contribute significantly to CO₂ emissions. CO₂ has diverse applications across multiple industries. In the beverage industry, it is used for carbonation, providing the characteristic fizz in soft drinks, sparkling water, and alcoholic beverages.
