A US-based brewing company has started utilizing carbon dioxide originating from its own parking facility to carbonate its beverages.
According to The New York Times, a brewery in the United States has begun extracting CO2 from its parking area for use in the beer-making process.
“We are literally removing carbon from the atmosphere. It’s quite surreal and astonishing,” stated the company’s chief, Damian Fagan.
He further noted that brewing beer without CO2 is unfeasible, but this obstacle has now been overcome thanks to the deployment of their dedicated capture system.
The apparatus employed for this carbonation process resembles a massive air conditioner unit, complete with an outlet pipe extending upwards.
This machine captures the carbon dioxide directly from the ambient air, and a separate system, housed within an adjacent shipping container, liquefies the collected gas, refining it into a pure substance.
