Heineken Ireland Uses Recycled Carbon Dioxide To Produce Beer

Heineken’s Irish subsidiary, Heineken Ireland, has said that it is 96% sufficient in carbon dioxide through the use of capture and reuse initiatives, with recycled carbon dioxide used to carbonate its draught beer.

The company’s Cork brewery captures carbon dioxide that is created in the natural fermentation process, and then re-uses it, part of the brewer’s broad commitment to sustainability across its operations.

The group has just published its 2021 sustainability progress report, in which it outlined its efforts to reuse by products such as carbon dioxide and grain dust and repurpose kegs of beer during lockdown.
