Gulf Cryo is to expand its carbon dioxide capacity across the GCC region.
In a statement, it said will reach 470,000 metric tonnes per annum (mtpa) dedicated to the regional merchant market by the end of 2026 – which can scale to 750,000 mtpa from existing facilities “whenever regional demand requires it”. This would equate to a near doubling of daily capacity, from 700 metric tonnes per day (mtpd) to 1,300 mtpd.
“This progress reflects the strength of long-term industrial partnerships with companies that have trusted Gulf Cryo’s expertise and played an important role in advance CO2 recovery across the region … we are building not only for today’s demand, but for the scale and resilience the region will require next,” it said.
The expansion is driven by long-term carbon capture and recovery projects. While production is anchored in the three primary hub countries of the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, the infrastructure is designed to supply and support neighbouring GCC markets including Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman.
This decentralised model aims to ensure local supply security while leveraging Gulf Cryo’s extensive distribution fleet to prevent regional shortages during peak industrial demand.
