At DALUM Beverage Equipment, our mission began with a simple but powerful idea: help craft breweries recover and reuse their own CO₂. Today, that same technology is playing a pivotal role far beyond the brewing industry, enabling carbon capture and direct air capture (DAC) innovators to overcome one of their biggest technical hurdles: CO₂ liquefaction.
Over the past two years, numerous carbon capture and DAC startups have approached DALUM, seeking solutions for the final, crucial stage of their process: CO₂ liquefaction. Many of these nascent companies, while excelling in front-end capture and enrichment technologies, struggle with finding cost-effective, turnkey solutions for liquefying CO₂, especially pilot programs and smaller-scale commercial plants. Kim Dalum, Founder and CEO of DALUM Beverage Equipment and recognized CO₂ recovery expert, elaborates:
“It’s been a rewarding experience working with some of the brightest pioneers and innovators in the carbon capture industry to help them solve this ongoing challenge of processing and liquefying CO2 – no single project is the same and very much experimental in nature.”
Founded by veteran engineer Kim Dalum, a recognized expert in CO₂ processing, DALUM Beverage Equipment developed a patented solution allowing craft breweries and distilleries to recover, purify, and liquefy CO₂ produced during fermentation for reuse or sale. Kim Dalum’s background as the former CEO of Union Engineering (now owned by Pentair), a leading manufacturer of industrial CO₂ recovery plants, provides an unparalleled foundation in gas processing. With more than 70 plants operating worldwide across multiple industries, DALUM is a world leader in small-scale CO₂ recovery and CO₂ liquefaction.
DALUM has delivered CO₂ liquefaction technology to 10+ carbon capture companies. Two recent collaborations stand out:
In both cases, no single project was the same. Each required custom engineering, proving the adaptability of our technology across very different CO₂ sources.
From breweries to carbon capture, our journey demonstrates how innovation in one sector can unlock solutions in another. By making CO₂ liquefaction accessible, modular, and cost-efficient, DALUM is helping accelerate the adoption of carbon capture solutions – moving us closer to a truly circular carbon economy.

CO₂ liquefaction turns captured CO₂ gas into liquid. This makes storage, transport, and reuse easier. It is a crucial step in moving CO₂ to beverage producers, greenhouses, or for permanent storage.
DALUM started with compact CO₂ recovery systems for breweries and distilleries. These systems recover, purify, and liquefy CO₂ from fermentation. Today, the same technology helps carbon capture and direct air capture (DAC) companies.
Many startups can capture and enrich CO₂ but struggle with the liquefaction stage. DALUM offers ready-to-use, cost-effective systems for pilot plants and small commercial projects. Our designs are backed by decades of practical experience.
The company was founded by Kim Dalum, former CEO of Union Engineering (now Pentair). DALUM Beverage Equipment is a recognized expert in CO₂ processing, with over 70 plants in operation worldwide. DALUM has offices in both Denmark and Wisconsin, USA.
