Beverage Industry Customer Utilizes On-site CO2 Capture and Reuse Technology
CarbonQuest’s distributed carbon capture system enables food and beverage customers to meet or supplement their CO2 supply through recycled CO2 captured from their own facilities, turning “waste” into a critical supply chain product.
This Washington-based beverage customer worked with CarbonQuest to install the carbon capture system that will capture an estimated 22,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions over a 15-year period. The CO2 is then liquefied and purified to ISBT standard beverage grade and reused on-site by the facility for use in its product.
Project Details
Carbon capture-as-a-service
The customer chose to install a carbon capture unit to address its reliability of CO2 supply. In the U.S. merchant market, CO2 demand consistently outpaces supply, leading to quotas, shortages, and costly long-distance transportation. Onsite carbon capture reduces supply chain uncertainty and cost fluctuation, while reducing demand for virgin CO2 production and completely, eliminating additional emissions from CO2s transportation.
The customer also faced the challenge of funding the installation of on-site carbon capture equipment. Under CarbonQuest Capture-as-a-Service model, the plant entered into a multi-year agreement to finance CarbonQuest’s distributed carbon capture system at no upfront cost for the design, installation, and operational maintenance of the carbon capture system. This innovative approach brings guaranteed emissions reductions to the customer and frees up capital for other projects.
How it Works
CarbonQuest’s distributed carbon capture technology captures CO2 from food and beverage customer’s boilers and purifies it to the beverage-grade ISBT standard.
