Why are more brewers are switching to biogas?

As the brewing industry continues to embrace sustainability, many breweries are now looking beyond ingredients and packaging to make meaningful environmental changes. One often-overlooked area is carbon dioxide (CO₂) — an essential element in brewing, used for carbonation, purging tanks, and packaging. Traditionally, this CO₂ comes from fossil fuel-based sources. But there’s a cleaner, more ethical alternative:

VeCO₂™ – the world’s first certified vegan, 100% plant-based carbon dioxide.

VeCO₂™  is captured from anaerobic digestion, using renewable plant-based feedstocks. This process not only reduces waste but significantly lowers carbon emissions compared to conventional CO₂ production. For brewers aiming to cut their carbon footprint, this is a tangible way to decarbonise without compromising on performance or product quality.

Unlike traditional CO₂, VeCO₂™ is certified by the Vegetarian Society, giving you and your customers confidence in its ethical and sustainable origins. It’s also certified food-grade, ensuring it meets the highest purity standards required in the brewing process.

Switching to VeCO₂™ gives breweries a unique selling point in an increasingly conscious market. Consumers are more aware than ever of where their drinks come from and how they’re made. By using a traceable, low-impact gas like VeCO₂™ you can align your brewery with values of purity, provenance, and planet-first thinking.

Whether you’re a small craft brewery or a large-scale operation, VeCO₂™ integrates seamlessly into your existing systems — just with a better backstory.

So the next time you pour a pint, ask yourself: is your CO₂ as clean as your beer?
