From Capture to Market
Turning Captured CO₂ into Commercial Value
More Than Carbon Capture—A Practical Path to CO₂ Commercialization
CO₂ capture is only the first step. The real challenge begins afterward: How can a stream of captured CO₂ be transformed into a usable, transportable, and economically valuable product? ASCO helps companies bridge the gap between carbon capture and utilization—from recovery and processing through liquefaction and storage to the commercialization of CO₂.
Why Carbon Capture Alone Is Not Enough
More and more companies are investing in carbon capture technologies to reduce emissions and tap into new opportunities for value creation. However, CO₂ capture alone does not yet generate economic benefits.
Before captured CO₂ can be used, transported, or marketed, it must be processed, conditioned, liquefied, and stored. At the same time, questions arise regarding its use, logistics, and marketing. It is precisely these steps that determine whether a CO₂ source becomes a valuable resource.
How ASCO Supports Companies in Commercialization
ASCO sees itself as a partner for the entire CO₂ capture phase. Our focus is on helping companies turn a captured CO₂ stream into a marketable product.
To this end, we combine technologies for CO₂ recovery, processing, liquefaction, and storage with many years of experience in CO₂ supply and services. In addition, we support customers in identifying suitable uses and marketing channels for their recovered CO₂.
This results in an integrated approach that bridges the gap between carbon capture and commercial utilization—in line with our “From Capture to Market” philosophy.
The Journey from the CO₂ Source to the Market
The path from captured CO₂ to its commercial use involves several critical steps. ASCO supports customers throughout this entire value chain and lays the groundwork for the successful commercialization of CO₂.
Liquefaction
Industries We Support on the Journey from Capture to Market
ASCO - More Than Just a Plant Supplier
Successful carbon capture projects require more than just reliable technology. They emerge where CO₂ sources, technology partners, buyers, and marketing channels come together.
Thanks to decades of experience in the CO₂ market, ASCO possesses comprehensive engineering expertise and a well-established network spanning the entire CO₂ value chain. We help companies bring the right partners together and develop practical ways to utilize or market captured CO₂.
In this way, we forge connections between CO₂ producers, technology providers, industrial users, and potential buyers—and help turn a CO₂ stream into a business opportunity.
Potential Uses for Recovered CO₂
Every CO₂ stream is unique. Depending on its purity, volume, and location, different opportunities arise for the use or commercialization of captured CO₂. For example, the CO₂ can be used in the food and beverage industry, processed into high-quality dry ice, or reused in industrial processes. In other cases, marketing through existing CO₂ supply chains or regional markets is a viable option. ASCO helps companies identify the most economically and technically viable uses and realize the full potential of their CO₂ stream.
Food and Beverage Industry
Purified CO₂ is used in numerous applications in the food and beverage industry—from carbonation to packaging and production processes.
Dry Ice Production
CO₂ can be processed into high-quality dry ice and is used in industrial cleaning, cold-chain logistics, and production and maintenance applications.
Industrial Applications
Many industries require a reliable supply of CO₂ to meet various production and process needs.
Internal Circulation Use
Companies can reuse recovered CO₂ directly in their own operations, thereby reducing their dependence on external CO₂ supplies.
Marketing and Resale
Depending on their quality, quantity, and location, recovered CO₂ streams can be integrated into existing supply chains or channeled into new markets.
Service That Enables Long-Term Success
The performance of a CO₂ system is not evident at commissioning, but rather in its long-term and reliable operation. Availability, efficiency, and serviceability are critical factors for the economic success of a project.
ASCO supports customers throughout the entire lifecycle of their systems—from commissioning and maintenance to spare parts supply, technical support, and long-term optimization.
With a strong focus on service, we ensure that CO₂ recovery systems operate reliably over the long term and can realize their full economic potential.
What is the Potential of Your CO₂-Based Stream?
Not every carbon capture project follows the same path. The optimal solution depends on factors such as CO₂ quality, volume, location, and the available options for use or commercialization.
ASCO works with you to analyze the framework conditions of your project and shows how a captured CO₂ stream can be turned into an economically viable resource.
