How we contribute to a circular economy :

Several industrial processes release biogenic CO2 naturally as side-streamfrom their production, especially alcoholic fermentation and anaerobic digestion (biogas upgrading). While this by-product is often not valorized,we offer quality systems and pathmways to valorize CO₂.

Biogenic CO2 valorization

We offer to capture CO₂ from biogenic sources through efficient and high-quality systems.

Utilization pathways and ecosystems in the agri-food and chemical industries

Our mission is to develop regional industrial ecosystems for the reuse/conversion/utilization of biogenic CO₂ through a network of partners and customers.

Development of sustainable alternatives, decarbonization and defossilization

By offering new alternatives and combining conversion technologies, we aim at decarbonizing and defossilizing the agri-food and chemical industries on the long-term.

CO2 recovery from alcoholic fermentation


A piping system connected to the fermentation tanks, with a technology of recovery, dehydration, purification and compression where we make sure the CO2 complies with beverage standards, before storing and managing the logistics of the operation. 
The product can then either be reused on the production site, or sold to a nearby customer.

Our Services

Installation and recovery of biogenic CO₂ in breweries and vineyards
We connect a CO₂ recovery, purification, and liquefaction system to your fermentation tanks to enable its use in a wide range of applications. We handle all logistics for the valorization of your high-quality CO₂.



Consulting and expertise in CO₂


We help emitting industries understand, manage, and capitalize on their CO₂ emissions. From analyzing sources and flows to identifying capture, reduction, and valorization solutions, we offer customized support. Our expertise also extends to CO₂ market opportunities, including sales, local reuse, and integration into circular value chains. The objective: turn biogenic emissions into a driver of both environmental and economic performance.



Pilot projects for biogas purification

We design and implement pilot projects for CO₂ valorization at biomethane plants (purified biogas), integrating innovative CO₂ recovery solutions from the separation process.
