A Turkish research and development company has developed a smart greenhouse based on new technologies in agriculture and passive energy strategies. The company is seeking investors under a financial agreement. The ideal partners would be companies from the R&D and agriculture sectors that have specific experience in building solar greenhouses.
Details:
A Turkish R&D company has developed a "smart greenhouse". This project is an original design based on various technologies such as soilless agriculture and passive energy strategies. It is a greenhouse project that can be operated fully enclosed (or semi-enclosed) and can use renewable energy sources such as geothermal energy, solar energy, and thermal storage walls. The greenhouse has a double facade that reduces heat loss/gain by integrating geothermal energy.
The goal is to reduce energy consumption to near zero and use a minimum of water, fertilizer and pesticides. The difference from normal greenhouses is essentially that the greenhouse cover has a double facade.
In addition, thanks to this facade, the greenhouse can use the heat from the ground. Temperature fluctuations are compensated and can be kept constant between 15-25 degrees in summer and winter. By channeling the geothermal heat directly through the double facade, the greenhouse's energy consumption can be significantly reduced. In addition, the project generates solar energy using PV panels and stores energy through passive walls. Some technologies such as antimicrobial surface technology are also used to strengthen the plants.
Wanted partners/advice:
Under a funding agreement, the Turkish company is looking for R&E and agricultural companies involved in solar greenhouse construction.
