A method including collecting exhaust gas comprising carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) at a wellsite to provide a collected exhaust gas, separating CO.sub.2 from the collected exhaust gas to provide a separated CO.sub.2, and forming formic acid utilizing at least a portion of the separated CO.sub.2. At least a portion of the formic acid can be utilizing in a wellbore servicing fluid (e.g., a fracturing fluid) introduced downhole via a wellbore. The exhaust gas can be produced during a wellbore servicing operation at the or another wellbore. A system for carrying out the method is also provided.
