Title:
Integration and Demonstration of Carbon Capture and Utilization in Low Energy Precision Controlled Environment Agriculture Systems
Agreement Number:
ACT-RI-244
Agreement Value:
$307,493.00
Agreement Date:
Jun 28, 2024 - Mar 31, 2027
Description:
This project aims to integrate and demonstrate two proprietary subsystems: a direct air carbon capture & utilization system and a low-energy. Precision Controlled Environment Agriculture (PCEA) system. These systems will allow farmers to use ambient CO2 for accelerated year-round plant growth while capturing CO2. The PCEA device eliminates the need for water pumps, reducing electricity costs by up to 40% when compared to alternatives. The carbon capture system is novel for its direct air capture capabilities without heating modules.
Organization:
