Sustainable Brewing Meets Smart Investment: DEYA’s CO₂ Recovery Journey

In partnership with Ninkasi Rentals & Finance and Dalum Beverage Equipment, DEYA Brewing Company has taken a major step toward sustainability and operational efficiency by installing a CO₂ recovery system.

Faced with growing CO₂ emissions and increasing demand, DEYA sought a solution that aligned with their environmental values without compromising their bottom line. The Dalum 15kg/hr CO₂ capture unit, tailored to DEYA’s needs, now enables them to recover over 10 tonnes of CO₂ per month — more than double their requirement — while reducing reliance on external suppliers.

The results? An annual savings of £57.5k on CO₂ and a payback period of just over two years. With carbon pricing volatility and supply insecurity in the market, this investment not only cuts emissions but secures DEYA’s future growth and resilience.

This is a clear example of how green technology can deliver both environmental and economic returns — and why CO₂ capture is becoming essential for forward-thinking craft brewers.

What challenge was DEYA Brewing facing?

DEYA Brewing was growing rapidly, and so was their CO₂ usage. They wanted a more sustainable and cost-effective solution than purchasing externally delivered CO₂, which also added to their carbon footprint.

How much does DEYA save each year on CO₂ with their CO₂ recovery system?

One of the core benefits of CO2 recovery is the savings from purchasing CO2 from an external supplier. DEYA saves around £20k a year and are reducing their reliance on third-party CO₂ suppliers. Previously, DEYA was spending around £57.5k per year on their CO₂ costs.

Why did DEYA choose to work with Ninkasi and Dalum?

Ninkasi was a trusted partner already supplying DEYA. Their new collaboration with Dalum Beverage Equipment allowed them to offer an end-to-end CO₂ capture solution – from import to installation and ongoing support – minimizing risk and disruption.

Is CO₂ capture typically viable for craft brewers?

Until recently, CO₂ recovery systems were mainly affordable for large-scale breweries. Dalum’s system changed that, offering a cost-effective, scalable solution suitable for craft breweries like DEYA and many others.

What system did DEYA install?

They installed a DALUM 15kg/hr CO₂ Recovery Plant with a 7-tonne vertical storage tank, allowing them to collect up to 10.8 tonnes of CO₂ per month – over twice their current needs. This setup ensures both present and future supply.

What are the financial benefits for DEYA?

DEYA previously spent around £57,500 per year on CO₂. The project cost was £125,000, giving them a payback period of just over two years – Or less if market prices spike again.

What environmental impact does the system have?

The system captures and reuses around 130 tonnes of CO₂ annually, which is equivalent to removing 92 cars from the road each year. It supports DEYA’s long-standing commitment to sustainability.
