If you’re lucky, you have Monday off and a three-day weekend ahead of you. If you’re not as lucky… hey, at least you’ve got food tech news.

This week we’re covering stories that captured our interest around the web, including vodka made with sequestered CO2, McDonald’s investing in renewable energies, and more. Enjoy!

Air Co. debuts new vodka made from carbon dioxide
Startup Air Co. recently unveiled a new brand of vodka whose alcohol comes from CO2 instead of the traditional yeast. The company’s technology uses carbon dioxide, captured from local factories, as well as water and electricity to create its alcohol. which debuted in retailers and bars in New York City this week. The only byproduct is oxygen. According to Fast Company, each bottle of Air Co.’s vodka sequesters as much carbon as the intake of eight trees.

Kelloggs and Deliveroo launch D2C kitchen in London
The Kellogg Company has teamed up with British food delivery company Deliveroo to create a delivery-only meal service (h/t FoodManufacture.co.uk). Called Kellogg’s Kitchen Creations, the enterprise is run by Kellogg’s and will offer plant-based meals made using the brand’s breakfast cereal and snacks. The D2C meals will only be available through Deliveroo. Plant-based and dark kitchens? Quite the trendy combo.

McDonald’s invests in wind and solar power
This week McDonald’s announced it is investing in two startups creating renewable energy. Aviator Wind West focuses on wind power, and the solar power company’s name was not made public (via National Restaurant News). The sustainable investments will generate the equivalent of over 2,500 McDonald’s restaurants-worth of electricity. Last year the fast-food chain set a goal to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by over a third by year 2030.
