Agtech - Use case for the developed GreenCap Solutions AS technology. By combining our ECS (Environmental Control System) and DAC (Direct Air Capture System) our research partner NIBIO Særheim has demonstrated crop yields for 160kg of tomatoes per squaremeter/year, a fully zero-emission system. Thanks to Vertical Farm Daily and Rebekka Boekhout for sharing the results. #agtech #sustainability #netzero #transformation #collaboration
No-venting in the greenhouse pushes tomato yield to 160kg per m2 "At NIBIO, we don't use natural gas to heat anymore so we do not benefit from waste carbon dioxide. With DAC technology, we capture carbon dioxide from outside and put it in the greenhouse. While using hydroelectric energy, allows us to be a zero-emission system," says Verheul Michel, Senior Research Scientist at NIBIO Særheim, Norway. In September 2023, NIBIO began a three-year research project focused on emission-free greenhouse farming, funded by the Norwegian Research Council. The project seeks specifically to reduce energy needs in a closed greenhouse using an Environmental Control System (ECS) provided by GreenCap Solutions AS, also a Norwegian company. https://lnkd.in/e37h79ve
