Opus One Expands Chart Industries’ CO2 Capture Solution for Third Year
August 16 2024 - 8:11AM
A pioneer in ultra-premium winemaking in Napa Valley, Opus One
Winery is among the first wineries in the world to expand their
deployment of Chart Industries, Inc. (NYSE: GTLS) carbon capture
solutions. For the last two years, Opus One has implemented Chart’s
Earthly Labs’ CiCi (Oak) solution to capture carbon dioxide (CO2)
during red wine fermentation and plans to expand the deployment to
double the CO2 captured during the 2024 Harvest. This model of
circular carbon economy in the wine industry is unique, but one of
the many practices Opus One has implemented throughout their winery
to advance environmentally conscious winemaking.
“Opus One’s pursuit of excellence extends to how we care for
nature,” said Michael Silacci, winemaker at Opus One. “We have
continued to expand Chart’s Earthly Labs carbon capture solution,
reducing our climate impact and ensuring the enjoyment of each new
vintage for generations to come.”
In 2022 Opus One implemented Earthly Labs CiCi (Oak) small scale
carbon capture solution during the grape harvest to capture the
waste CO2 emitted during the wine fermentation process. The
technology captures, purifies and liquifies thousands of pounds of
CO2 for reuse on site. Opus One utilizes the CO2 onsite to make dry
ice, avoiding traditional transportation emissions from dry ice
deliveries. Additionally, Opus One uses the real-time monitoring
software to track CO2 captured.
This harvest, Opus One has expanded their CiCi (Oak) technology
implementation to capture 100% more CO2 than in the previous year
by incorporating additional fermentation tanks into the program.
This expanded process will meet their onsite dry ice needs and
reduce associated emissions. Additionally, Opus One will pilot the
upgraded visualization dashboard using the Chart Howden Uptime
platform.
“Chart Industries is honored to advance Opus One’s
decarbonization journey,” said Jill Evanko, CEO of Chart
Industries. “As one of the few wineries in the world to capture
their waste CO2 and reuse it, Opus One stands as a model for
exemplary and responsible wine making.”
In 2018 Opus One was the first winery to achieve Napa Green
vineyard and winery certification through their attainment of many
of the 120 sustainability standards to save energy, conserve water,
prevent waste, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, care for employees,
and land stewardship. Earlier this year Opus One partnered with
North Carbon Management software to enhance the company’s ability
to meticulously track, manage, and reduce its greenhouse gas
emissions throughout the winery – from cultivation to production to
packaging – in pursuit of certification with
International Wineries for Climate Action (IWCA).
