CO2, A changing Landscape – Global Perspective
-CO2 is both a high profile greenhouse gas and a valuable market commodity
-This product is found naturally from underground wells
-It is also emitted from Fossil Fuel burning industrial plants
-Sourcing CO2 in US:
>For 2010 total US Merchant CO2 production capacity was
40,000 tpd
>Most of the Merchant CO2 is now from Ethanol plants.
>Ammonia plants are expected to continue to lag as No.
of plants shut down to high NG prices in 2002 onward.
This could change due to low NG price now.
>Ethanol plants continue to be dominant source of CO2
supply.
The current global demand
For CO2 is estimated at 80Mtpa based on 2010
data
•
Of this 80Mtpa, at least 50Mtpa is utilized for
EOR, almost exclusively in North America.
•
The remaining 30Mtpa represents the global
demand of all other uses, predominantly the
mature industries of beverage carbonation
and food industry uses.
11/17/2015
The future demand
Estimate (for the year 2020) for the short-listed
reuse technologies is 140Mtpa, including EOR.
This estimate is based on a predicted growth of
current technologies such as EOR and urea
fertilizer and the implementation and
commercialization of demonstration projects for the
remaining technologies in line with their prospective
development timeframes.

Some Applications of CO2 by Industry
Manufacturing and Construction Uses:
>Carbon dioxide is used on a large scale as a shield gas in MIG/MAG welding, where the gas protects the
weld puddle against oxidation by the surrounding air. A mixture of argon and carbon dioxide is commonly
used today to achieve a higher welding rate and reduce the need for post weld treatment.
>Dry ice pellets are used to replace sandblasting when removing paint from surfaces. It aids in reducing
the cost of disposal and cleanup.
Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals and Petroleum Industry Uses:
>Large quantities are used as a raw material in the chemical process industry, especially for methanol and
urea production.
Rubber and Plastics Industry Uses:
>Flash is removed from rubber objects by tumbling them with crushed dry ice in a rotating drum.
Food and Beverages Uses for Carbon Dioxide:
>Liquid or solid carbon dioxide is used for quick freezing, surface freezing, chilling and refrigeration in
the transport of foods.
>In cryogenic tunnel and spiral freezers, high pressure liquid CO2 is injected through nozzles that convert
it to a mixture of CO2 gas and dry ice "snow" that covers the surface of the food product. As it sublimates
(goes directly from solid to gas states) refrigeration is transferred to the product.
>Carbon dioxide gas is used to carbonate soft drinks, beers and wine and to prevent fungal and
bacterial growth.
>Liquid carbon dioxide is a good solvent for many organic compounds. It is used to de-caffeinate coffee.
>It is used as an inert “blanket”, as a product-dispensing propellant and an extraction agent. It can also
be used to displace air during canning.
>Supercritical CO2 extraction coupled with a fractional separation technique is used by producers of flavors
and fragrances to separate and purify volatile flavor and fragrances concentrates.
>Cold sterilization can be carried out with a mixture of 90% carbon dioxide and 10% ethylene oxide, the
carbon dioxide has a stabilizing effect on the ethylene oxide and reduces the risk of explosion.

TSI and CO2 & Applications
•Medicine: In medicine, up to 5% CO2 is added to pure oxygen. This helps in provoking breathing and to
stabilize the O2/CO2 balance in blood. SCCO2 applic. in sterilization of drugs and Extraction.
Global CO2 market in Pharma & Biotech is $85 mm, US is $32 mm and growing.
•CO2 Laser: The CO2 laser, a common type of industrial gas laser uses CO2 as a medium. Welding: It
also find its use as an atmosphere for welding.
•Oil Wells: Carbon dioxide is commonly injected into or next to producing oil wells to draw lost traces of
crude oil .
•Metals Industry: It is used in the manufacture of casting influences so as to enhance their hardness.
•Fumigation: Used as a fumigant to increase shelf life and remove infestations.
•Enhanced Oil Recovery:
Heightened interest in US in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) using tertiary techniques such as EOR
using CO2. However, Laid in cost for using CO2 in EOR projects is driven by distance from its source to
application site.
Danbury resources, a key CO2 supplier in Texas via pipeline sells 400 mmscf per day CO2 for EOR
in Southeast region.
Major limitation in other areas of US is CO2 supply in scattered EOR project locations.
Carbon Sequestration and storage:
Syngas and Power projects for many regions of US and Canada will provide CO2 for EOR services
in years to come.
Oklahoma state has numerous EOR projects where CO2 is pipelined from Bravo Dome and others
are supplied by ammonia where CO2 is byproduct.
This is new area and it will take years before its activities are at peak.

Waste CO2 to Valuable Products from Algae
Separated CO2 from Flue emission can be further:
-Purified, compressed, and sold to commercial gas
clients
-Used in agriculture e.g. algae farming.
Algae has found its usage in a variety of industries
as follows:
- Fuel: EPA 2011 renewable fuel std. volume
requirements at 1.35 billion gallons of advanced
biofuels. And the U.S. Navy's goal is to operate at
least 50% of its fleet on clean renewable fuel
sources by 2020. Achieving this objective will
require a significant use of biofuels.
-Renewable Oil Markets: This area is focused on
addressing the needs of chemicals,
nutritionals, and skin and personal care
markets using algae.
-Chemicals: In 2009, about 9 million metric tons of palm
kernel and coconut oils were consumed globally
for food and industrial applications such as
laundry detergent, soap, and shampoo, functional
fluids such as airplane de-icing fluids, Algae oils
are a natural fit for these markets.
-Nutritionals: The $2 trillion packaged food industry is
actively seeking more natural, sustainable
sources of fiber and healthful fats without
compromising value, quality, taste, or nutrition.
Commercializing a suite of microalgaederived food ingredients is in progress.
-Health Sciences: Target market is global skin and personal
care market, which is estimated at $323 billion. Within
this market, focus area of business are
(1) Toiletries, makeup, and hair care, estimated at $239
billion
(2) skin care, estimated at $84 billion.
Consumers are staying active and living longer, and
their desire to appear youthful will continue to drive

TSI and CO2 Market for the CO2 Manufacturer
CO2 Market Opportunities – Should it be Wholesale Raw Gas or Direct
Marketing to Consumers?
• Some decades back, in the United States, many of the sources (i.e. ethanol,
ammonia plant) operators and owners were and are the same parties who
owned operated the CO2 plant near the raw gas source operation and
marketed.
• Today, also numerous independents thrive in the United States, as direct
sales to consumers. Since the emergence of the major gas companies,
most of the raw CO2 is actually sold to the gas refiner – which is also the
marketing operation for the merchant CO2.
• In addition to this exception today in North America,
This direct CO2 marketing scheme is quite common in Latin America
and many other regions.

TSI and CO2 Market for the CO2 Manufacturer
• One fact supporting direct sales of CO2 by the ethanol firm to a limited merchant
or niche market is a large margin difference between the raw gas prices to a
refiner/gas company. Raw gas prices range from $5 to $25/ton v. consumer
market prices usually averaging around $90 to $100/ton; and in some high
priced markets with little regional competition or no local supply can be $200 to
$300/ton.
• It will be necessary to evaluate the costs of production, distribution, and
overhead, initially to consider wholesale raw gas sales or direct markets.
• Further, once markets are understood, and the costs & requirements for
producing CO2 for the merchant trade is known, along with distribution; then
potential risks for direct marketing can be properly evaluated.
• Numerous cases exist, where a niche market or a specific region would make the
most sense, in terms of directly marketing the commodity – and a true opportunity
to produce much stronger revenues.

$5 million, however, $6 million is used on calculation.
•
The operating cost used in calculation is 30% of revenue. This number is very conservative as
average production cost is $15 per ton for new plant, plus the cost of piping from the source and
the cost of producing CO2.
•
The price for CO2 is estimated by the field sales as stated in the analysis. If price is significantly
reduced to $30, $35 and $40 for different use rate, the ROI is 3.67. This analysis is in the
spreadsheet titled Analysis in Extreme case.
•
It is assumed that CO2 available from the power plant is 72% w/w CO2 and purified to >99%
when available as USP and Food grade for use
