CO2 Use it, don’t lose it: Using CO2 recovery to reduce emissions

Jesper Holmgaard, Sales Director at Aquila-Triventek, highlighted how CO2 recovery could significantly reduce the amount of CO2 required to meet the global demand for dry ice, when in discussion with gasworld tv as part of the CO2: Use It, Don’t Lose It and Monitor webinar.

Holmgaard said, “Calling dry ice production carbon neutral is hardly justifiable unless production efficiency increases significantly. The best results are achieved by implementing co2 recovery, the effect would be that significant global demand of dry ice could be met by using half the CO2 that is used today.”

Holmgaard, who has been in the dry ice industry for the last 19 years, also recognises the environmental impact that dry ice production can have and strongly believes that this needs reducing, “The European Industrial Gases Association (EIGA) for example, report on environmental impacts of carbon dioxide in dry ice production. The publication details, the impact on the environment and provided guidelines on how to reduce the environmental impact.”
