Case study · Garden centres & greenhouses
HortiScience Innovation Center
Heats 625 m² of greenhouse with crop waste from its own site.
The crop residues left after growing still hold a lot of energy. The system turns them into usable heat that covers the greenhouse heat demand through the year.
The result
What the system delivers here
The greenhouse no longer has to pay a levy to have its crop waste taken away. Instead it goes into the system and delivers the heat that keeps 625 m² of greenhouse at temperature all year round. No gas connection is needed and no heavier grid connection, so the heat supply stands apart from grid congestion and gas prices.
What is left over is compost that can be used on site. High-grade compost can make plants more resistant to disease and pests. A growing trial with it is running at the HortiScience Innovation Center.
- 625 m² of greenhouse fully heated with its own residual streams
- Crop residues from the crop as the only fuel
- Compost as a second yield, usable on site
