The same way oxygen is. It binds to/reacts with haemoglobin forming a complex called carboxyhaemoglobin, which is soluble and can be transported through the blood.

1) carbaminohemoglobin
2) bicarbonate
3) Dissolved CO2

CO2 is absorbed into RBC from all tissues of our body which produce the CO2 after the TCA cycle. 23% of the CO2 binds to haemoglobin to form carbaminohemoglobin Hb.CO2, 7% remains as dissovled CO2 in the plasma and the rest (70%) will be converted into hydrogen carbonate by carbonic anhydrase H2O + CO2 = H2CO3. as a result carbonate ions are released into the blodd stream while the chlorine ions gets (the transporter for buffering hydrogen ions) into the RBC. the formation of hydrogen carbonate H2CO3 will increase the concentration of hydrogen ions which increase acidity, the excess hydrogen ions are buffered by bidning with haemoglobin to form Hb.H+, and some will go into the blood stream and buffered by carbonate ions, when the RBC is in the pulmonary caplliary, there will be an inflow of carbonate ions and outflow of chlorine, the carbonate ions forms hydrogen carbonate with hydrogen ions and converted back to water and carbon dioxide for which the CO2 is diffused into the alveolar air space. CO2 that was bound to Hb also releases into the air space.
to make it easier,
93% CO2 diffuses into the RBC
forms hydrogen carbonate, and Hb.CO2
when RBC is in the lung
CO2 is released

Simplify it for you:
1) carboxyhemoglobin (in Red B.C.) - mostly
2) Bicarbonate ion ( HCO3)-
3) As CO2 dissolved in plasma (approx 5%)

The same as the oxygen is transported, the red blood cells.

CO2 is taken from da food we take in and it gets passed to da blood, da blood which contains co2 is impure and it is carried by da veins to da heart for purification, da filterd co2 gets expelled from our body through exhalation by da lungs and pure O2 is taken in
