In an article published on 17 October 2022 on the RTS website, journalist Katja Schaer, with a web adaptation by Miroslav Mares, highlights the growing shortage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in Europe, a direct consequence of the energy crisis and the surge in natural gas prices. This situation strongly impacts the food industry, particularly breweries, which depend on CO2 for food preservation and beverage gasification.
The article notably quotes Reto Engler, co-founder of Dr. Gabs brewery, who highlights the importance of CO2 in the beer-making process and the need to find sustainable alternatives, such as capturing and reusing the CO2 produced during fermentation.
At WasteOlas, we have made this issue a priority. Our CO2 recycling project aims precisely to meet this challenge, by proposing innovative solutions to capture and valorize CO2 directly on production sites. We are proud to work closely with Docteur Gab’s Brewery to implement an on-site solution that anticipates and reduces the risk of future shortages, while contributing to a more circular and environmentally friendly economy.
