In the winery: Energy use and Capturing CO2 – should you do it?

This is a recording of a panel session from the SWR Global Conference Series 2023  “The sustainable vineyard and winery in 2030” conference from 3rd May 2023.

In the winery: Energy use and Capturing CO2 – should you do it?

A handful of wineries around the world are capturing and re-using or storing CO2. In this session we ask why, although we know part of the answer (climate change). but also, how much does it cost to do so? What does it cost to capture – and re-use – CO2, and what are the uses for it (in tanks, as a solid) once you have it. In this session we talk to those who’ve been doing it, and put audience questions on the how and why, directly to them.

Speakers:

• Felix Egerer, Viticulturist, Unsworth Vineyards
• Joao Luis Barroso, Sustainability Coordinator, Wines of Alentejo
• Sergio Nicolau, Viticulturist and Agronomist, Orgo Regenerative Biology Management
• Diana Snowden Seysses, Winemaker, Snowden Vineyards

Moderator: James Streeter, Chair, SWR
