What is Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and toxic gas primarily formed through the incomplete combustion of carbon-based compounds when oxygen is insufficient. Industrially, it is produced via the Boudouard reaction, through the reduction of metal oxides with carbon, or by partial oxidation of carbon in a limited oxygen environment. It serves as a reducing agent and an energy source in various industrial processes.
Factors Affecting Carbon Monoxide Prices
Carbon monoxide prices in Q1 2026 were shaped by industrial demand from chemical, steel, electronics and metal processing sectors, along with production rates and surplus availability. Feedstock and energy costs, logistics and operational expenses, and import reliance for certain feedstocks also influenced pricing. Earlier quarters showed the added effect of safety and emissions regulations, plant maintenance activities and geopolitical tensions.
Supply and Prices Overview - Q1 2026
Supply conditions in Q1 2026 ranged from balanced to tight, with production levels stable across the countries covered. March prices were USD 321/MT in the UK, USD 440/MT in Japan, USD 549/MT in India, USD 712/MT in Indonesia and USD 813/MT in Australia, while consistent industrial consumption kept the market firm.
Carbon Monoxide Price Index
The carbon monoxide price index in Q1 2026 differed by region. Europe showed a steady upward trend supported by firm demand from chemical and manufacturing sectors, while Asia Pacific recorded noticeable growth driven by chemical, steel and electronics demand.
