Portable CO₂ recovery for the UK drinks industry. Cork & Capture provides flexible carbon capture designed specifically for wineries, breweries, distilleries, cider makers, and commercial alcohol producers. Our unit captures fermentation CO₂, purifies it to beverage-grade quality, and prepares it for reuse, resale, or permanent removal.
Process
We've stripped away the complexity. Here's what happens when you partner with us.
Portable & modular
Our entire system fits on a single Ford Transit–sized vehicle. It installs directly on your fermentation vessels, capturing CO₂ as it's produced. We capture, purify and compress it, then test it and store it onsite. Seasonal deployment for wineries — year-round for breweries, distilleries, and commercial producers.
Resale & sequestration
Any CO₂ you don't use gets collected by us. We sell it locally to other producers through our facilitated resale network, or permanently sequester it underground for carbon credit generation. Storage is provided separately, configured for onward sale, on-site reuse, or permanent removal.
Our kit sits on your fermentation vessels and captures CO2 as it's produced. No retrofitting your entire operation. No disruption to what you're already doing well.
Every batch is tested and verified to meet beverage-grade standards. Quality assurance is built into the process, not bolted on afterwards.
Captured CO2 is stored in on-site tanks ready for immediate use. You use what you need for carbonation, chilling, or packaging.
Surplus CO2 is permanently sequestered and registered as Verra-certified carbon credits. You earn revenue from what you don't use.
