It is used to stun animals before slaughter, to package meat and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expanamarkets.com\/markets\/protein\/seafood\/\">seafood<\/a><\/span>, to ripen vegetables in greenhouses, to cool dough during processing, to freeze and transport food as dry ice, and to regulate temperatures in cold chains. Much of this use happens upstream, outside the direct control of brand owners or retailers.<\/p>\n<table width=\"675\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"307\"><strong>Why is CO2 important<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"368\"><strong>Impact on Food &amp; Beverage Businesses<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Dependency on ammonia\/ethanol production<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Unpredictable supply, price volatility<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Energy price volatility<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Sudden disruptions, procurement risk<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Shift to biogas\/decentralized sources<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">New logistics, higher costs, supply diversification<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Quality\/certification challenges<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Need for testing, parallel supply chains<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Market perception\/reputational risk<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Hesitancy to adopt new sources, limited supply options<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>That matters because CO\u2082 supply in Europe has a long history of disruption.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike many food inputs, merchant CO\u2082 is not produced primarily in response to demand from the food industry. Roughly three quarters of Europe\u2019s supply is captured as a byproduct of other industrial processes\u2014most notably ammonia and ethanol production. When those plants shut down because energy prices are high or margins deteriorate, CO\u2082 supply can disappear with little warning, even if food-sector demand is strong.<\/p>\n<p>Previous <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expanamarkets.com\/markets\/energy-transport\/natural-gas-prices\/\">gas price spikes<\/a><\/span> have shown how quickly this can ripple through food markets. Shortages of CO\u2082 have led to allocation and force majeure declarations, disrupting meat processing, beverage production, and more. Seasonal maintenance at ammonia plants also tends to reduce availability during the summer, precisely when beverage demand peaks.<\/p>\n<p>Not everyone in the food and beverage value chain feels this exposure equally. Some companies buy CO\u2082 directly and are well aware of the risk. Others rely on suppliers that use CO\u2082 in their own operations, and therefore may not realize how exposed they are until something breaks.<\/p>\n<p>Consider a simple example: you sell pasta with pork rag\u00f9. Your meat processor likely used CO\u2082 for humane stunning before slaughter. Your <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expanamarkets.com\/markets\/fruits-vegetables-juices\/tomato-prices\/\">tomato<\/a><\/span> and<b> <\/b><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expanamarkets.com\/markets\/nuts-dried-fruit-food-ingredients\/herbs-and-spices\/\">herb<\/a><\/span> suppliers may rely on CO\u2082\u2011enriched greenhouses to accelerate growth and control quality. Your pasta manufacturer may use CO\u2082 for dough cooling or temperature control during processing. None of those uses may appear on your own bill of materials, but all of them are vulnerable to the same upstream supply constraints. In the event of a CO\u2082 disruption, shortages are therefore unlikely to be isolated to a single product category; they can cascade across the food supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding that risk requires more than knowing <i>that<\/i> CO\u2082 is used. It requires some basic horizon\u2011scanning: where merchant CO\u2082 comes from, why it has been disrupted in the past, and how that supply chain is now changing.<\/p>\n<table class=\"wrap-cells\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 22.2603%;\"><strong>Commodity Category<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 32.1062%;\"><strong>Primary CO2 Dependency<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 22.4007%;\"><strong>Operational Mitigation Feasibility<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 23.1473%;\"><strong>Financial Risk Level<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 22.2603%;\">Fresh Poultry &amp; Pork<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 32.1062%;\">Stunning \/ Processing line gas<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 22.4007%;\">Low<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 23.1473%;\">Critical<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 22.2603%;\">Beer &amp; Soft Drinks<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 32.1062%;\">Carbonation &amp; Counter-pressure filling<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 22.4007%;\">Medium<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 23.1473%;\">Critical<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 22.2603%;\">Bagged Produce &amp; Meals<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 32.1062%;\">Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 22.4007%;\">Low<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 23.1473%;\">High<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 22.2603%;\">Industrial Bakery<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 32.1062%;\">Shelf-life extension packaging<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 22.4007%;\">Medium<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 23.1473%;\">High<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 22.2603%;\">Frozen \/ Cold-Chain<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 32.1062%;\">Dry ice production<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 22.4007%;\">High<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 23.1473%;\">Moderate<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Because in Europe, that change is already underway. Faced with repeated disruptions linked to ammonia and ethanol production, industrial gas suppliers are working to diversify sourcing and build resilience into their networks. One of the most important shifts is the growing role of biogenic CO\u2082, particularly CO\u2082 captured from biogas upgrading. These sources tend to be smaller and more decentralized than traditional ammonia plants, reducing reliance on a handful of large facilities and on fossil\u2011fuel economics.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, this transition raises new questions for food and beverage buyers. Emerging CO\u2082 sources can introduce unfamiliar quality\u2011assurance considerations, certification gaps, and perception challenges, even when the gas meets food\u2011grade specifications. In practice, many suppliers and customers are still working through these issues on a case\u2011by\u2011case basis.<\/p>\n<p>Current events underline why this matters. Disruption in fertilizer and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expanamarkets.com\/markets\/energy-transport\/\">energy markets<\/a><\/span> has historically been a trigger for CO\u2082 shortages in Europe. So far, the latest bout of geopolitical instability has not materially curtailed European CO\u2082 availability, and market participants do not see immediate disruption as inevitable. But the system remains exposed, particularly over the next 12\u201318 months, as the transition toward more diversified supply continues.<br \/>\nFor food and beverage procurement teams, the takeaway is not to expect imminent shortages, but to recognize CO\u2082 as a critical, if often invisible, input. Asking where it comes from, how suppliers manage risk, and how new sources fit into existing specifications can make the difference between being caught off\u2011guard and being prepared.<\/p>\n<p><i>The accompanying white paper explores these dynamics in detail, drawing on discussions at gasworld\u2019s European CO\u2082 Summit &#8211; <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expanamarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Expana_CO2_White_Paper_Spring_2026.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">access here<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Image source: Adobe<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- .module.article-rich-text: end -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":15405,"template":"","tags":[164],"insight-theme":[166],"insight_topic":[165],"news_topic":[],"class_list":["post-15396","insight","type-insight","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-industrials","insight-theme-weekly-market-insights","insight_topic-industrials-and-metals"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6 (Yoast SEO v27.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Why CO\u2082 Supply Deserves a Closer Look from Food and Beverage Procurement<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Carbon dioxide is rarely top of mind for food and beverage procurement teams\u2014until it isn\u2019t available.
