US carbon capture technology firm CarbonQuest has entered the food and beverage market, with a new initiative underway in its home US state of Washington.
CarbonQuest has partnered with its first beverage customer on a plant that will capture approximately 22,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide over a 15-year period and purify it to beverage-grade standards mandated by the International Society of Beverage Technologists (ISBT).
The plant will utilise CarbonQuest’s point-source carbon capture and reuse system – which it calls Distributed Carbon Capture – which recycles CO2 from customer facilities to meet or supplement their CO2 needs.
