As nearly 90 percent of the demand for Liquid Carbon Dioxide in UK is primarily catered via imports from Europe, stocks of the product are likely to diminish rapidly as Pfizer is heard of bulk sourcing the product to produce dry ice at its German plant. Although the region is preparing for the mass production of Liquid Carbon Dioxide, bulk consumption of the product at Pfizer’s Belgium or Germany plant is likely to leave UK markets short of the imports.

Liquid Carbon Dioxide is a colorless liquid produced by the cooling and compressing the gaseous carbon dioxide. Liquid Carbon Dioxide is further subjected to manufacture dry ice which is mainly used as a refrigerant or preservative for many industrial purposes. The liquid form of Carbon Dioxide can exist only under 31.1 deg. Celsius temperature and 5.1 atm pressure. It is primarily used in the preservation of food and beverages, as an anti-flammable liquid in fire extinguishers and in industrial process. Furthermore, Liquid Carbon Dioxide is also used in the entertainment industry for special effects. It is also used in oil recovery as the compound lessens the viscous nature of oil making it easy to flow. It can be transported in non-insulated storage tanks or cylinders at 45-65 bar pressure. The compound is shipped in abundant quantities and since its transportation is delicate, many of the dry ice manufacturers prefer to locate their factories near to its production refineries.
