Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Organizations

CO2Brew Inc.

$48,530.00

CO2 Carbon Capture Prototype

FY 2024-25 · 2024-05-01

Summary
CO2Brew offers a carbon dioxide (CO2) recovery system specially designed for smaller, craft-sized breweries to ensure a continuous and self-sufficient supply of beverage quality CO2. The unit allows craft brewers to recover high purity CO2 from the fermentation process and store it in liquid form for reuse in the brewery to offset the purchase of industrial CO2 normally derived from hydrocarbons and/or sell excess produced CO2. This will reduce the overall CO2 emissions in the brewing industry and provide a potential secondary revenue stream for brewers. By implementing CO2Brew’s carbon capture technology, the brewing industry has the potential to reduce its emissions by 350,000-750,000 lbs. per brewery per year.

Description (French)
CO2Brew propose un système de récupération du dioxyde de carbone (CO2) spécialement conçu pour les petites brasseries artisanales afin d’assurer un approvisionnement continu et autonome en CO2 de qualité. L’unité permet aux brasseurs artisanaux de récupérer le CO2 de haute pureté issu du processus de fermentation et de le stocker sous forme liquide pour le réutiliser dans la brasserie afin de compenser l’achat de CO2 industriel normalement dérivé d’hydrocarbures ou de vendre l’excédent de CO2 produit. Cela réduira les émissions globales de CO2 dans l’industrie brassicole et fournira une source potentielle de revenus secondaires pour les brasseurs. En mettant en œuvre la technologie de capture du carbone de CO2Brew, l’industrie brassicole peut réduire ses émissions de 350 000 à 750 000 livres par brasserie et par an.
