ANTWERPSE BROUW COMPANIE

Antwerpse Brouw Compagnie or 'Seef Brewery' - an independent local brewery - is investing in a plant that extracts nitrogen from the outside air. Instead of carbon dioxide [CO₂] - traditionally used to prevent contact between beer and oxygen - the brewery will use nitrogen gas [N₂]. This gas has the same 'protective' properties as CO₂ without the disadvantages of being a greenhouse gas. The brewery will use new technology to filter nitrogen from the outside air and use it as an alternative to CO₂.

It is the first time that this installation, developed and produced by Atlas Copco in Wilrijk, will be used in a Belgian brewery and will lead to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of up to 90%. 

This investment aligns with the brewery's philosophy of brewing unique, special beers that are consciously produced in an environmentally friendly way.
