Maine Beer Company is among the first craft breweries in Maine to implement Chart Industries’ (NYSE: GTLS) Earthly Labs’ carbon capture technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Earthly Labs CiCi® technology allows Maine Beer Company to capture waste carbon dioxide (CO2) produced during fermentation, purify it and reuse it to carbonate the beer, purge tanks and package beer. This is one of the latest initiatives by Maine Beer Company to enhance efficiency and as their mission highlights, “Do what’s right.”
The recent Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Climate bill highlights the role carbon capture must play to mitigate climate change. Carbon capture has long been reserved for large-scale brewers, but Earthly Labs has the small-scale technology to make it affordable and achievable for all size businesses. This plug-and-play unit, called CiCi®, will enable Maine Beer Company to capture more than 1,500 trees worth of waste CO2 from the brewing process each year.
