As one of Germany's largest beverage producers, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE continuously evaluates opportunities to optimize its production processes and resource utilization. Working together with GEA, the company implemented a CO₂ recovery system that captures fermentation-derived CO₂ and makes it available for reuse within brewery operations. By reducing the need to purchase externally sourced CO₂, the system helps improve resource efficiency and supports greater supply security.
The project demonstrates how process technology can help breweries make better use of existing resources while supporting operational efficiency goals. In addition to reducing dependence on external CO₂ supplies, the recovered gas can be reused in production processes, contributing to a more circular approach to resource management. For OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE, the investment supports long-term operational resilience while aligning with the company's broader sustainability ambitions.
Discover how two industry leaders are redefining brewing — making it smarter, cleaner, and more independent with every drop.
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.”
