A sustainable onsite carbon dioxide (CO2) plant is being developed between Swiss company Climeworks and Danish CO2 specialists Union Engineering. At a time when the world is forced to go digital more than ever before just to stay connected, discover the in-depth content our subscribers receive every month by subscribing to gasworld. The project aims to provide a low-cost, standalone facility for the production of beverage-grade CO2 to bottling companies. In a two-step process, CO2 from the atmosphere is concentrated to 99.9%, purified and liquefied to achieve beverage grade. This process has been successfully tested in Germany since 2009 with the first commercial application coming out last year.
