This Brewery Pulls Ambient CO2 to Carbonate Your Pint

Patrons at Almanac Beer Company in Alameda, Calif., likely don’t know they’re contributing to a larger mission when they pull up to the brewery. Their cars emit carbon dioxide (CO2), as does their breathing, and while polluting the air might not seem like a positive contribution, an on-property air-capture machine recovers CO2 in the environment that’s then used to carbonate the brewpub’s pints. Almanac is the first brewery to do this. In the brewery’s parking lot, two Aircapture machines handle the work. One captures the CO2, and another liquefies and purifies it to make it safe for consumption. The article This Brewery Pulls Ambient CO2 to Carbonate Your Pint appeared first on VinePair.
