Problem
Breweries rely on external suppliers for carbon dioxide (CO2), a critical component in beer production for carbonation, purging, and packaging. The CO2 supply chain is vulnerable to disruptions, leading to shortages, price volatility, and production delays for breweries. This dependence on external sources also contributes to a brewery's carbon footprint.
Solution
CO2 Hubb offers breweries an integrated solution to capture, purify, and reuse CO2 emitted during the fermentation process. By implementing on-site CO2 recovery technology, breweries can achieve greater control over their CO2 supply, reducing reliance on external vendors and mitigating the risks associated with supply chain disruptions. The system promotes a circular economy model, transforming a waste product into a valuable resource, enhancing sustainability, and potentially creating a surplus that can be sold to other local businesses. CO2 Hubb also provides nitrogen generation technology for full process gas autonomy.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes breweries of all sizes seeking to reduce their dependence on external CO2 suppliers, improve their sustainability practices, and enhance their operational resilience.
