""It's actually critical that if you want technologies which can replace what we have, whether this is air capture or something else, that you get affordable.""
""Fundamentally, this was a business decision. We save 15% on the per-pound cost of CO2, which adds up to tens of thousands of dollars a year.""
""Almanac shut down operations for two days last fall when shipments of CO2 didn't arrive from their suppliers. They couldn't can beer, so they couldn't sell it.""
Almanac Brewing in Alameda is the first brewery to carbonate its beer with carbon dioxide captured directly from the atmosphere. This innovative approach not only reduces reliance on traditional CO2 suppliers but also aligns with the brewery's sustainability goals. CEO Damian Fagan noted that the brewery saves 15% on CO2 costs, translating to significant annual savings. The decision to adopt this technology was driven by both economic factors and the desire to avoid supply disruptions, as evidenced by a previous shutdown due to CO2 shipment delays.
