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. North America reflected varied trends, with steady refining and chemical demand, and logistics and operational costs contributing to fluctuations.

Carbon Monoxide Market News - Q1 2026

In March 2026, scientists developed a new material that converts carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide using only sunlight and water. Researchers at the University of Manchester developed the catalyst, which merges biological and material science concepts, and the findings were published in a chemistry journal. The development offers a sustainable pathway to produce fuels, plastics and pharmaceuticals from greenhouse gases.

Carbon Monoxide Price Trend - Q1 2026

Carbon monoxide prices rose across all five countries tracked in Q1 2026 when compared with Q2 2025 levels. The UK moved from USD 294/MT to USD 321/MT, Japan from USD 380/MT to USD 440/MT, India from USD 436/MT to USD 549/MT, Australia from USD 664/MT to USD 813/MT, and Indonesia from USD 595/MT to USD 712/MT.
