CO₂ Production Calculator

Cork & Capture is priced as a monthly subscription rather than an upfront capital purchase. For a 1,000-hectolitre brewery, the monthly subscription is offset by avoided CO₂ purchase costs — most breweries break even within the first year of operation and are net positive from year two onwards.

The brewery CO₂ subscription covers the capture system itself, installation on your fermentation vessels, ongoing maintenance, gas certification, and the buffer plus storage tanks for the captured gas. We size the system to your annual production and your CO₂ usage profile — a craft brewery carbonating 1,000 hl differs from a winery that needs press inerting during a six-week harvest.

Use the calculator above as your starting point: enter your production volume and average ABV and we'll show you the biogenic CO₂ tonnage your fermentation produces each year. We then work backward from that tonnage to a CO₂ recovery cost for your brewery, winery or distillery that's anchored in the avoided cost of bulk CO₂ — not pulled from a generic price list.

Small brewery CO₂ capture cost is the question we hear most often. The answer is that the subscription scales with your output, so a 500-hl producer pays significantly less than a 10,000-hl one.
