Green CO2 Systems

What Green CO2 Systems does

Green CO2 Systems is a Fort Collins, Colorado-based, employee-owned provider of beverage-grade carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and blended gas, founded in 2010 by Dan Schneider, Mike Schutte, and Brett Schutte. The company's technical foundation is the patented DS6000 Differential Diverter Valve, which connects multiple high-pressure CO2 cylinders into a permanently installed bulk storage system that can be refilled from outside the building and that eliminates the 20-30% venting waste typical of cryo-vac bulk tanks. The product portfolio extends beyond gas delivery into telemetry-based remote monitoring, UL-listed CO2 safety sensors and controllers, the TruFusion blender for mixed-gas beer dispensing, and the Nitro-Draught 1200 on-site nitrogen generator, positioning the company as a full-stack provider of gas storage, dispensing, and safety compliance rather than a commodity gas supplier.

The business operates a sales-led go-to-market with Territory Sales Managers conducting free consultations, site assessments, and customized multi-year service agreements, complemented by 24/7 external-fill delivery with a 2-hour average response time and no emergency delivery charges. Customers span five verticals: bars and restaurants (national chains such as Jimmy John's, Denny's, Subway, Panera, Applebee's, Popeyes, and Taco John's), microbreweries, indoor cannabis cultivation and extraction facilities, convenience stores, and commercial swimming pools. Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time equipment system sales and installation, recurring gas delivery under custom service agreements, and ongoing maintenance. The company currently operates from four locations — Fort Collins (HQ), Denver, Las Vegas, and Oklahoma City — serving Colorado, Nevada, and Oklahoma with stated ambitions for coast-to-coast coverage.

Emerging players

• Chart Industries: Specialty cryogenic equipment manufacturer supplying bulk CO2 storage tanks, distribution equipment, and gas-processing systems — analogous to Green CO2's Flagship high-pressure system and DS6000 valve, though Chart operates upstream of gas distribution and sells capital equipment rather than recurring gas delivery.
• CO2 Gro Inc. Ag-tech company supplying CO2 enrichment and foliar spray systems to greenhouse and cannabis growers; overlaps with Green CO2 on the indoor-cultivation vertical but takes a different technological approach (misted aqueous CO2 delivery) versus Green CO2's gas-blended enrichment controllers.

Broad incumbents

• Messer Americas: Major privately held U.S. industrial and medical gas producer/distributor supplying bulk CO2 across multiple states — competes on the same beverage-grade CO2 demand as Green CO2 in overlapping regional markets but offers the full industrial-gas portfolio including oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen.
• Linde plc: Global industrial gas major (formed via merger with Praxair) supplying beverage-grade CO2 and bulk gases to the same hospitality and food-service customers Green CO2 serves; comparable in that it competes for the same beverage-carbonation accounts but with national distribution and broader gas-product cross-sell.
• Air Products and Chemicals: One of the world's largest industrial gas companies with a broad CO2 and bulk-gas distribution network across North America; overlaps directly with Green CO2 on bulk CO2 supply to restaurants, breweries, and industrial customers, but operates at much larger scale with full industrial-gas portfolio bundling.
• Air Liquide: Multinational industrial gas company with established U.S. presence in beverage-grade CO2 and on-site supply to restaurants, microbreweries, and other commercial customers; competes for many of the same accounts but does not specialize in zero-vent on-site delivery systems.

Others

• Micro Matic: Long-standing beverage dispensing and draft beer systems supplier (gas blenders, regulators, beer line cleaning) serving breweries, bars, and restaurants; comparable to Green CO2's TruFusion Blender and Nitro-Draught 1200 products but positioned as a dispensing-equipment distributor rather than gas-delivery operator.

Direct peers

• TOMCO2 Equipment: Specialist CO2 storage, distribution, and blending equipment supplier focused on beverage and industrial customers — the most direct comparable to Green CO2 in terms of product line (bulk CO2 tanks, blenders, regulators), though typically equips third-party gas distributors rather than operating its own delivery fleet.
