Technology for capturing CO2 from the alcoholic fermentation process and for channeling it towards reaction with soda and subsequent conversion to Solvay soda.
The benefits of this strategy are numerous. On the one hand, capturing CO2 from fermentation would prevent its emission into the atmosphere, thus contributing to the promotion of strategies based on the concept of negative emissions, key to achieving the climate objectives set out in the 2015 Paris Agreement. Furthermore, the potential of this strategy could reduce the carbon footprint of certain activities in our region, an action increasingly linked to commercial objectives stemming from legislative changes in this area across many international markets. On the other hand, focusing on the products obtained from CO2 capture through this proposal, their production could be carried out with a significant reduction in waste during synthesis compared to traditional methods, generating cost advantages and a lower pollution intensity in the production process. Applications: In the wine and distilling sectors. Solvay soda could be marketed at a price below the current market value because its synthesis is much cheaper.
