Development of the LCO2 price in Germany

Liquid CO2 (LCO2 for short) is produced during the process of biomethaneprocessing won This is because during the separation of the biomethane from the raw biogas CO2 is produced as a by-product. This is not traditionally used, but offers an additional source of revenue for the plant operator and increases the social added value of the biogas plant. Since the biogenic, climate-friendly CO2 from the biogas plant displaces fossil, climate-damaging CO2 from the market. 

The fossil CO2 is usually produced From natural gas. Daher experienced the LCO2 market in the last two years a strong Scarcity. Das led to this, thes the LCO2 liquefaction from biogas now not only a green, but thereby also a economical alternative to the fossil comparator for the customers represents. 

The following data comes from interviews with participants in the market for Liquid CO2 and only reflect a section of the overall market. Among the participants of the LCO2 market fall, for example, operators of LCO2 production equipment or LCO2 dealer.  The data refer to LCO2, the the so-called EIGA 70/ 17 or Food Standard fulfills. The agriportance can guarantee the correctness of the prices for the LCO2 not guarantee. 

Liquid CO2 is a very regional product, as it is not well suited for transport. Therefore, the sites in Germany are divided into the two categories A-site and B-site.
