A brewpub in Alameda, California, is using on-site Direct Air Capture technology to produce beverage-grade CO2 for its beer. While small in scale, this application demonstrates a shift toward decentralized carbon removal and the replacement of industrial CO2 byproducts with atmospheric capture. The project highlights the potential for modular DAC units to serve niche commercial markets. By capturing carbon dioxide directly from the air, businesses can reduce their reliance on high-footprint industrial gases and test the viability of carbon capture technology in urban environments.
