CO2 shortage as never experienced before

The background of the CO2 crisis
Installed CO2 plants in Europe Fertilizer market
• Total installed capacity: ~ 20 000 tpd • High cost of NG in Europe vs. RoW
• About 100 CO2 plants • 30 % fertilizer production overcapacity ww.
• Nominal oversupply with regional • Fertilizer imports to Europe increased to 45 %
imbalances • Extended maintenance periods from March to
• Sources for CO2 plants by weight July
European CO2 crisis

• From March to July 2018 about 7 fertilizer
sources were in partial production or
stopped at a given time
• The level of CO2 stored by IGC (in plants,
trailers or at customer storages) has
decreased
• In June about 10 CO2 sources were
simultaneously down triggering the worst
CO2 crisis in Europe

Reduction of fertilizer production is the root cause

• CO2 from cider production can be recovered • Replacement of water scrubber
• Superior CO2 quality improves shelf life time • Replacement of regenerative activated carbon
• Capacity range 1.000-3.000 kg/h • Tolerant for varying hydrocarbons in raw gas
Sustainable CO2 solutions for sustainable growth

Innovative capture technology for soft drinks
The extraction based plants utilize on-site flue gas

and heat and are built on the currently most efficient
amine technology available on the market: The
Advanced Amine Technology
Efficient and sustainable self-supplied CO2

CO2 FROM BIOGAS
(ON-SITE & OFF-SITE)
Short to mid term solutions: Biogas
Biogas is highly sustainable and becomes part of the closed loop economy when waste
streams are converted into methane, food-grade CO2 and fertilizers.
Biogas can feed various value streams including CO2

EIGA DOC 70/17: Food-Grade CO2 from biogas
Revised EIGA DOC 70 released in February 2017
(EIGA = European Industrial Gases Association)
Biogas from anaerobic digestion listed as carbon dioxide source

- Biogas from energy crop is handled similar to yeast-based fermentation (ethanol)
- Biogas from bio-waste digestion or co-digestion requires greater care in the evaluation
- [Biogas from landfills with variety of waste types requires extensive risk assessment]
Risk assessment process for AD plants for food & beverage CO2
- The food safety risk analysis (HACCP) includes the digester biogas process
- Final product carbon dioxide is always compliant with the Appendix A
- Complete on-line or complete batch analysis of CO2 before supply to customer
- A food safety management system (e.g. ISO 22000) is strongly recommended
for the carbon dioxide plant

- Compliance of the AD plant (and feedstock) with the EU regulations for animal by-products

CO2 from biogas – quality & experience
NL EXPERIENCE
FOOD SAFETY RISK ASSESSMENT • First plant in operation since 2011

WITH INDUSTRIAL GAS COMPANY • Mainly bio-waste, vegetable & food waste
• Higher level of impurities -> process control
• Food safety risk assessment completed • CO2 goes via industrial gas companies and
• Inline / complete batch analysis before supply OCAP pipeline mainly to greenhouses
(30 vs. 9 components for industrial CO2) • Demand driven by greenhouses
• 2000+ EIGA samples since 2015
• CO2 complies with food-grade requirements UK EXPERIENCE
• Test result: < 2 bacteria / dm3
• Initial deviations caused by: • Energy crops / unprocessed vegetable matter
• H2S • High quality -> low risk
• Moisture • CO2 goes via industrial gas companies to
• Hydrocarbons (propane) food & beverage and industrial applications
• Approx. 99 % of samples now OK • Shortage in conventional sources -> imports
• Regional demand & distant industrial sources

Conclusion
During summer 2018 a shortage in raw CO2 caused serious problems for the
beverage industry. Innovative solutions are reachable short, medium and long
term:
• Low hanging fruits in solving the CO2 shortage periods include extended storage and
further utilization of biogas upgrading with the two value streams biomethane and
food-grade CO2
• CO2 from biogas has been approved for food & beverages by EIGA and is under
review by the ISBT
• Some countries (NL, UK, ...) have started using the biogas CO2
• As other raw gas sources are declining, on-site investments offer the most stable
CO2 supply
• Technologies for all sizes of breweries and soft drink bottlers are available
• Looking ahead, new and environmental conscious solutions are coming up –
however the technical and commercial feasibility is still uncertain
CO2 shortage is avoidable – the solution is individual
