Brewing
Here’s the crazy thing about beer: fermentation releases CO2 into the atmosphere (bad for the climate); then the company buys commercially manufactured CO2 to artificially carbonate the alcohol (bad for the climate); then CO2 is released when we drink the beer (bad for the climate). Now Earthly Labs has innovated a circular economy technology to capture the CO2 during brewing and convert it to a liquid for storage, ready for carbonating the beer. Using this process, Denver Beer Co. halved its costs and also sells some of its captured CO2 to a cannabis greenhouse. A carbon revolution is brewing.
