Closing the loop: key lessons for breweries from OeTTINGER

The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.

Impact of CO2 recovery at OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE

No beer should cost 18 euros. We can produce at a fair price because we’re more independent.
