CO2 GRO Inc (TSX-V:GROW, OTCQB:BLONF) has announced that a commercial feasibility of a CO2 Delivery Solutions system will commence in the first quarter of 2022 at a California greenhouse.
The owners, who wished to be unnamed for competitive reasons, are expanding their 1-hectare greenhouse facility by another 2 hectares during 2022, totalling 3 hectares of production area (over 300,000 square feet).
CO2 GRO said the commercial feasibility will run for a minimum of six months from installation. The main benefits being evaluated include increased production, faster growth, CO2 consumption, and Pathogen Perimeter Protection which suppresses the development of micro-pathogens contributing to improved yields.

"We signed this commercial feasibility after a personal visit this month to a number of California and Arizona greenhouse growers to finalize layout designs, visit ongoing commercial feasibilities and advance discussions with new potential US customers,” said Aaron Archibald, vice president of sales and strategic initiatives, in a statement.
“We expect to announce more commercial feasibilities and potentially sales from these business trips. Networking is a key pillar of our marketing strategy and being able to meet customers in person helps us develop strong relationships which in turn helps us expand our network and business development opportunities. Our experience from this sales trip was the continued growth in awareness and interest of CO2 Delivery Solutions as a technology that can help growers improve their operations, plant yields and financial performance."
The company’s technology creates a dissolved 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%.
