CO₂ Recovery: Turning hidden losses into measurable value

October 16, 2026 12:00 PM Europe/Berlin

CO₂ has become too valuable to vent and too critical to manage without visibility. Yet when performance drops, the source of the problem is not always found within the CO₂ recovery plant itself.

What happens when CO₂ recovery starts declining but the cause isn’t where you expect it to be? 

In this webinar, GEA experts take you inside a real brewery assessment assessment to show how the source of hidden losses was investigated across the complete process.

Following the CO₂ through each stage of the process, from fermentation and scrubbing to compression, purification and refrigeration, you'll see how operating conditions across the wider brewery can influence CO₂ recovery, reliability and resource efficiency.

Using real findings from the customer site, we'll explore what good CO₂ recovery performance looks like, where hidden losses can occur and how to identify opportunities for improvement. You’ll also see, how a structured Performance Boost assessment helps translate technical findings into a prioritized action plan. 

 

What you'll learn

 

  • Why CO₂ recovery has become a strategic priority for breweries
  • What defines successful CO₂ recovery performance
  • How conditions across the complete process influence CO₂ recovery
  • What we learned from a real brewery assessment
  • How to identify hidden losses and improvement opportunities
  • How a Performance Boost assessment can turn findings into prioritized actions for continuous improvement
