Big Storm Brewing to adopt carbon capture system to reduce emissions

• Big Storm will install one system for brewing and a second for its distillery.
• The company will be part of Earthly Labs Climate Leader program, advancing research and development for the distilling industry and sharing those insights with peers.

How it works: The system will capture carbon dioxide during fermentation, process and cool it, then allow the brewery to use it in the packaging process.

• Big Storm says it will be able to capture the equivalent of more than 1,500 trees worth of CO2 every year.

Bonus: Big Storm co-owner L.J. Govoni expects recovered CO2 to make better beer. "Reusing the purified carbon will give the beer a nicer taste and mouthfeel," he said in a release.
