The commercial feasibility will be conducted in a section of one of the customer's commercial greenhouses, as the focus of the commercial feasibility is to assess the impact of the CO2 Delivery Solutions system on increased production, reduction of pathogens, and CO2 usage.
CO2 GRO said the customer's primary branding focus is sustainability and the reduction of their products' ecological footprint.
"We are extremely excited about this customer as they represent nearly 100 million square feet of potential commercial installations,” said Aaron Archibald, vice president of sales and strategic alliances for CO2 GRO. “In addition to their size and scope, their focus on sustainability and the reduction of their ecological footprint aligns very well with our own company's focus on ESG."
CO2 GRO's proprietary CO2 Delivery Solutions technology is revolutionizing the global 600 billion square foot protected agriculture industry. It creates a saturated CO2 solution that when misted onto plants provides growers that cannot gas with CO2 the opportunity to increase plant yields by up to 30% and profits by up to 100%.
Applying saturated CO2 also suppresses the development of pathogens such as E.coli and powdery mildew, helping to reduce crop losses.
