Our Services

Heat Producers

Do you want to gain new income streams from the sale of your waste heat and CO2? Greenhouses can use low-grade heat, and have a relatively stable demand. We can identify a horticultural project near your site with significant benefits for your business including helping you to reduce emissions and generate income. We help you kick start a project and make progress without having to carry out costly and time-consuming procurement. Click here to see what your micro-feasibility study could look like.

Electricity Generators

We work with renewable energy generators looking to develop direct wire opportunities. Protected horticultural sites such as greenhouses and vertical farms make ideal energy customers because they can use heat, cooling, power, and CO2 all year round. We develop feasibility studies for horticulture projects that use renewable power.

Growers

Would you like to reduce your operating costs and carbon emissions by moving to a site with low carbon heat and/or power? No matter what scale you are operating at, we can help you find a site to suit your needs. We identify sites with waste heat, affordable power and CO2, and facilitate collaboration with key stakeholders. 

Local Authorities

The benefits of localised horticulture are vast, from improving health and wellbeing, to job creation, economic growth, improving air quality and food resilience and security. Whether you want help in developing your own scheme or wish to discuss how we can develop a project on your behalf, we can find a solution to suit your needs. 

District Heating Schemes

Greenhouses can provide baseload demand for heat networks, increasing efficiency for the whole network. We map the area around a district heating network to identify potential horticultural sites. We can engage with key stakeholders to identify potential for projects, and develop outline business cases.
