Description
Summary:The present study evaluates the direct CO2 emissions from fermenters and explores the potential capture of these emissions and further utilisation to produce value-added products. Data collected from a representative Spanish winery have been used to analyse the kinetics of CO2 release and to calculate the emission rates for different grape varieties. The results obtained highlight a considerable variability in the CO2 emission rates among grape varieties. Moreover, the study confirms that the CO2 produced during fermentation can be effectively captured and reused, helping to reduce the overall carbon footprint of such processes at industrial scale. To complete this study, the technical viability of capturing fermentative CO2 directly from the tanks has also been evaluated.
