    On the upside JV I don’t get personal with my replies I try to keep it light👍🏻. You are no longer in the groove I’m afraid, I’m thinking your ideas & mindset is from a bygone age, not a problem in itself accepted but it shows you are struggling in the ‘real’ world-I borrowed that from your personal repository👍🏻, as much as I always enjoy our interactions JV I’m afraid I must go-so-have a great daykiss

    We may have moved a bit off subject but apart from the usual ones scoring points, most seem to agree that the food chain is a mess. Unnecessary food miles  and mostly by companies who like to promote their "green" credentials.

    Just reading a report in the Newspaper about Iceland's innovative way of turning CO2 into rock. Having looked it up on t'internet I notice that the BBC had an article on it last year, so as it's easier to link that article rather than explain the whole of the newspaper article here it is.

    Well done Iceland.

    That’s the crux Fish. Too many humans. You are conversing with someone who hasn’t had children. If they want them, they should ruddy well afford them, it’s as simple as that. 

    Watched a programme on TV last night. Somewhat astonishingly to me, China is embracing a vegetarian way of life more and more.

    I’d call the “A1” a lasting project. And the Advanced Manufacturing Park in Sheffield.

    But on this thread it's a case of needing CO2 in our daily lives.

    I expect they do capture some, by products from industry have always been useful but going back to the OP we started to run out of food grade C02 which is a by product of the fertiliser industry.

    Drax co2 is a by product of wood pellets? All be it imported.

     I don't know enough about it JVB and on this thread we're talking about C02 by-products that we need not emissions.

    This is the DRAX blurb  LINK  (bed time reading if you like....wink)

    I know this is going back to a comment quite early on in this discussion, but thought a response might be appreciated.  

    The theoretical yield of CO2 is about 747 kilograms per 1000 litres of alcohol produced.

    So, putting that into something relating to beer, 747 kg CO2 would be produced from fermenting 20,000 litres of 5% beer.

    However, CO2 can only be collected from enclosed vessels – many microbrewers in particular are still using open vessels.

    The cost of CO2 purification plant, and operating costs mean that very large volumes of CO2 need to be produced to make collection economic.

     Although theoretically 747 kg could be collected, only 500 kg CO2 can actually be collected.  Losses are due to some remaining in solution at the end of fermentation, a fair bit being so impure due to entrained air (oxygen & nitrogen mainly) that it is not economic to collect.

    Finally, the collected CO2 is used to carbonate beer before packaging (exception cask beer – about 7% of total beer sales if I remember correctly), and to remove air (critical gas is oxygen) from tanks and final package (kegs, cans, bottles).  Unfortunately, that means that even large breweries with CO2 collection systems have to buy in additional CO2.  The only slight consolation is that it is “green” CO2 from plant material, rather than from petrochemicals.

    Re distillers, since they don't use CO2, as far as I know, none of them have a CO2 collection system.  Why should they when it is not their core business and volumes are small compared to some of the breweries?

    Yes, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?”

    Insulting?, no you have taken my post out of context. I accept it would have been insulting if that was my intention, it was not. I posted from the position of someone who is extremely proud of this country & it’s leaps forward over the centuries, I wondered at the intelligence, creativity & ingenuity of our forefathers.

    penicillin-Alexander Fleming, lives saved approximately 200 million & counting.

    industrial revolution started in Britain & was exported around the world.

    English(Language) the most widely spoken international language around the world used by over 1.1billion people. 

    im not one for trashing our country whilst talking up others, I believe all countries stand with positives & negatives. We have fought just to stand still recently, the balance has now tipped & we’re beginning to go backwards it’s immensely saddening to me, our own people will suffer.

    PS-English is a modern language in comparison to others. English has traces of most other countries language in its make up. I usually use our Language against the xenophobes who believe this Country is no place for ‘foreigners’, we are a mix of ‘foreigners’ I’m part Italian/Scots & Irish🤷🏻‍♂️

    We quite often see two or three DHL vans In. our area at the same time  ,a driver told us  they load at different bays at the warehouse, so parcels for the same road or address could well be on separate vehicles  you can see with the tracking your parcel app where your parcels are as each has its own code

    Sorted our neighbors today just in case no CO2 and no turkeys. All had a big Rainbow trout which I caught and will be a substitute for Xmas  if necessary. Just frozen for freshness.

    I still don’t get it 2 items from the same company why not have the same tracking number.

    In the 1960’s I worked on parcel deliveries mainly going to shops and factories. Parcels would come  from various destinations to go to one shop or factory they got sorted at the depot and just 1 vehicle would deliver all of the parcels to the same place not 1vehicle for each parcel.
