Previewing the North American CO2 Summit 2025: Pioneering Efforts Towards a Greener Tomorrow

The North American CO2 Summit 2025 is set to take place in Denver, Colorado, following the successful 2024 event in Nashville, Tennessee. Organised by the Internationale Finanzbildung Stiftung (IFEF), this year's summit promises to be a significant event in the carbon industry's calendar.

The theme for the 2025 summit is "Innovating For a Sustainable Future", reflecting the industry's growing focus on quality, safety, and best practices. The event will cover a wide range of topics, including market insights, regulatory updates, technology innovations, and sustainability.

One of the key developments that is expected to be a source of conversation at the summit is the increase in the Section 45Q tax credit for carbon dioxide utilisation. This credit has been matched with the $85 per tonne rate for sequestration, creating a level playing field in the merchant market. This development is anticipated to have a significant impact on the industry and will be discussed in depth at the summit.

The ongoing balancing act of sourcing, pricing, and supply chain management will also be a focus of discussion. As CO2 demand grows across sectors in North America, the sourcing and supply of this critical product often remains less assured. New and emerging sourcing pathways will be a topic of discussion, offering insights into potential solutions to this challenge.

The summit will also delve into dry ice demand and market trends & technologies, as well as e-fuels, energy transition, and making sustainability profitable for businesses. The event offers compelling networking opportunities, with corporate bookings of 3 delegates or more available for $1,530 per person.

The 2025 North American CO2 Summit will take place against the backdrop of Denver and the surrounding Rocky Mountains, providing a picturesque setting for the event. Tickets for the summit are selling fast, so it is advised to secure your place soon.

The market is relatively calm and controlled at the time of writing, but it is noted that this balance can quickly shift and appear out of control. Regardless, the summit promises to be an invaluable opportunity for critical networking, business development, and gaining insights into the latest developments in the carbon industry.
