Important results from the project
The project fulfilled its main objective to develop a resource-efficient solution for greenhouses, where the Wall Confluent Jet technology was successfully implemented. A significant results was that the technology can now be adapted to Venlo greenhouses, a global standard model, increasing its commercial potential and dissemination. The new application variant makes it possible to install the technology and replace existing systems for heating, cooling, moisture management and CO2 regulation.
Expected long term effects
The project is expected to lead to sustainable and resource-efficient greenhouse cultivation, where WCJ technology reduces energy use and enables the use of waste heat, which lowers costs and minimizes climate impact. In the long term, we strengthen the possibility of sustainable food supply globally and reduce dependence on imported food. The technology also contributes to exports, business opportunities and green jobs, and makes us a leading player in sustainable greenhouse technology
Approach and implementation
The project was carried out according to plan with a focus on developing and implementing the WCJ technology in greenhouse environments. The collaboration worked well, but we ran into obstacles around intellectual property rights. This led us to modify the technology, which now enables its use in standard Venlo greenhouses. This adaptation eliminated the dependence on specific greenhouse constructions and opens a global market, where there are millions of hectares of traditional greenhouses
