You wonder how there can be a shortage of CO2 when all the climate alarmists are up in arms about the massive overdose of CO2 in the atmosphere and the carbon emissions from just about everything. Green House Gas emissions is measured in KgCO2e :)

Our local micro brewery, Single Speed, reclaims the emitted CO2 from the fermentation and uses it for any final carbonation required. They also are carbon neutral, brewing with all solar power, composting all food scraps and paper from their restaurant, as well as making bread and other foodstuff from the spent grain. Although most of the spent grain goes to feed local cattle, which in turn is served in their beef dishes.

There is a huge volume of CO2 produced by the ethanol plants here in the Midwest. There is a battle raging right now over a pipeline to carry it to industrial areas for use. I'm sure the carbon "credits" have a lot to do with that one.

And even in tons of CO2 like refrigerant, for example one kg of R410A is equivalent to 2.088 tons of CO2 and for R22 it's 1.810 tons.
