For many years CO₂ recovery has been a luxury reserved for only industrial-scale breweries with massive production volumes. For Craft breweries, wineries and distilleries this technology has been too complex, expensive or oversized for their needs. But today, the landscape has changed. Thanks to compact and scalable CO₂ recovery systems, even small and mid-sized producers can take advantage of the same sustainability and cost-saving benefits as global beer brands.
At DALUM Beverage Equipment, we specialize in CO₂ Recovery and CO₂ Liquefaction systems designed for craft beverage producers to regional breweries. With four system sizes – Micro, Craft, Senior, and Hercules, we enable producers to turn their own CO₂ emissions into a valuable resource.
Every fermentation process produces CO₂. For a lot of craft breweries, wineries and distilleries, this gas is vented into the atmosphere, contributing to greenhouse emissions. By capturing and using it, breweries reduce their climate footprint and also move toward a closed-loop production system.
In recent years the beverage industry has experienced major CO₂ shortages. For breweries, this can mean production delays and increased costs. A DALUM CO₂ recovery system ensures a steady, self-sufficient supply, essential for both craft and regional breweries.
Purchasing CO₂ cylinders or bulk deliveries is expensive, especially for producers located far from gas suppliers. Reusing captured CO₂ drastically reduces these recurring costs, often creating a return on investment within a few years.

In the past, industrial breweries dominated the CO₂ recovery market because traditional systems required high volumes of beer produced to be financially viable. But DALUM Beverage Equipment has changed that.
With four CO₂ recovery system sizes, our solutions are engineered to match the scale of production from 2,000 – 200,000 hl/Yr:
Our CO₂ recovery technology has a modular approach that allows businesses to start small and scale up as production grows. You are also able to integrate multiple different plants into your CO₂ recovery system. Whether you’re operating a craft brewery or running a regional production facility, there’s a DALUM solution that fits.
Fermentation-driven industries such as wineries and distilleries also produce significant CO₂. By adopting recovery systems, these producers can improve sustainability, reduce costs, and enhance their brand reputation as environmentally responsible businesses.

CO₂ recovery technology isn’t limited to beverages. Climate-tech startups and carbon capture innovators are using DALUM’s CO₂ liquefaction systems to solve the “last mile” challenge, turning captured CO₂ into a transportable, usable product.
CO₂ recovery involves capturing gas from the fermentation process, purifying it to beverage-grade quality, and liquefying it for storage and reuse. DALUM’s systems are engineered for reliability, efficiency, and compact design, making them easier to install and maintain compared to traditional large-scale plants.
Our technology ensures:
With plants sold on four continents, DALUM has helped breweries like Russian River Brewing Company in California and numerous craft producers worldwide secure their CO₂ supply and reduce emissions.

Is CO₂ recovery only for large breweries? Absolutely not. Thanks to DALUM’s scalable systems, producers of all sizes, from small craft breweries to regional breweries can benefit from capturing, purifying, and reusing their own CO₂.
With decades of engineering expertise, proven installations worldwide, and a portfolio that ranges from compact Micro Plants to powerhouse Hercules systems, DALUM is redefining what’s possible in CO₂ Recovery, CO₂ Liquefaction, and sustainable brewing technology.
If you’re ready to reduce costs, secure your CO₂ supply, and strengthen your sustainability credentials, contact DALUM today to explore the right CO₂ solution for your business.
CO₂ recovery captures gas from fermentation, purifies it, and reuses it for carbonation, cutting costs and reducing emissions.
Yes. DALUM offers four different size CO₂ Recovery Plants designed specifically for small-scale breweries, craft scale and regional breweries.
It reduces greenhouse gas emissions, eliminates reliance on external deliveries, and supports a circular production model.
Wineries, distilleries, and carbon capture innovators are increasingly adopting the technology.
Many breweries see a return on investment within 2–4 years, depending on production volume and CO₂ demand. Some breweries can even see a return of investement for their CO₂ recovery system within a year. Request a feasibility study to learn your brewery’s ROI for CO₂ recovery.
