OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE turns CO2 into a win.
At OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE, brewing is about more than great beer — it’s about doing things better. Every bubble of CO2 released during fermentation is captured, cleaned, and put back to work in the production process. Together with GEA, the brewery has turned CO2 recovery into a smart, future-focused move that makes operations more independent, efficient, and responsible. This is a story about making bold choices today to shape the brewing of tomorrow.
Sustainability is more than a buzzword in today’s brewing industry — it’s a necessity. From cutting emissions to reducing resource consumption, breweries worldwide are rethinking how they operate. An effective way to lower environmental impact while increasing operational efficiency is through CO2 recovery — and that’s exactly where OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE and GEA have joined forces to make a difference.
OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE, one of Germany’s largest and most progressive breweries and beverage producers, is leading by example. Determined to make their operations more efficient, climate-friendly, and future-ready, the company partnered with GEA. Together, they’ve implemented a CO2 recovery system that turns what was once a waste product into a valuable resource — saving money, reducing emissions, and safeguarding supply security. The result: lower emissions, reduced dependency on external CO2 supplies, and significant cost savings. It’s a win for the environment, a win for the brewery, and a smart step toward securing resources for the future.

In the video, the team at OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE shares their firsthand experience of the project, the role CO2 recovery plays in their operations, and what this partnership with GEA has meant for their business and their sustainability mission.
For both companies, this project is a showcase of what’s possible when technical expertise meets practical ambition. GEA’s proven technology and hands-on, customer-focused approach provided OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE with a tailor-made solution that supports their climate goals while improving operational efficiency.
And it’s about more than technology — it’s about people and shared vision. This collaboration proves that when suppliers and breweries work side by side, real, lasting progress can be made.
“For our sustainability strategy, it has been a great benefit to put this CO2 recovery systems into operation.”
