If you're working with Vertical Farms, Greenhouses or are part of the Controlled-Environment Agriculture (CEA), then don't miss our white paper: Future-Proofing CEA: Reliable, Sustainable CO₂ with Direct Air Capture (DAC) 🌱 As global food production increasingly relies on Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA), the demand for CO₂ to boost crop yields is rising. However, current CO₂ supply chains often face reliability issues and contribute to additional emissions. For CEA to truly support sustainable food production, a new approach to CO₂ sourcing is essential. 🙏 This is where Direct Air Capture has the potential to be a game changer. The white paper discusses how DAC enables CEA operations to achieve: - reliable CO2 supply - climate-neutrality - stable pricing Read now: https://lnkd.in/e5t3v6QW

🌍 Europe is uniquely positioned to lead the global transition to a low-carbon economy while maintaining the strength of its established industries. Climate technologies like Direct Air Capture are vital to sustainably transition key sectors in using or permanently storing atmospheric CO2. We need to drive innovation that ensures both our economic resilience and climate goals, on both EU and national level. As Draghi's report rightly emphasized, fostering innovation is critical to sustaining growth. In today’s landscape, we can’t afford to separate sustainability from competitiveness—they are intertwined. A big thank you to all the panelists Jeannette Baljeu, Gerben-Jan Gerbrandy, Sigrid Johannisse and Mark Dijk for such an insightful discussion, and to Publyon EU for the invitation and connecting innovators and policymakers on this crucial topic.

Winners of the Greenhouse of the Future competition! 🏆 Together with FOTONIQ, Voltiris and Thermeleon we have won the "Dragons Den" pitch for the "Greenhouse of the Future" contest from Greenport West-Holland! We believe that in the greenhouse of the future, multiple innovations should be integrated systemically.  By combining our strengths and developing plug-and-play solutions, we are creating a greenhouse that is future-ready—and will stay that way—from sustainable energy to smart CO₂ capture and optimal daylight & climate control. 🎤 Our pitch: The Dutch glass greenhouse is a global icon, with 80% of high-tech greenhouses worldwide originating from the Netherlands. To future-proof these greenhouses, a balanced approach to energy, daylight, CO₂, and temperature is essential. With innovative solutions from Voltiris, Thermeleon, FOTONIQ and Skytree, we are accelerating the development of the Greenhouse of the Future. This greenhouse will serve as a platform for testing plug & play technologies, resulting in a tailored handbook for various growing climates. 🌱 2027: Future-proof horticulture To ensure greenhouse horticulture remains sustainable and profitable, we must increase efficiency as costs for CHP, energy, and CO₂ rise. By combining technologies, we can optimize yields through flexible controls and seamless tech integration. In a CHP-free greenhouse, Skytree captures CO₂ from the air, powered by Voltiris’ solar energy. FOTONIQ’s PAR+ coating diffuses daylight without loss, while Thermeleon’s Thermal Battery ensures the perfect temperature. This combination enables sustainable growth and maximum CO₂ retention. Our goal: the Greenhouse of the Future by 2027. Want to contribute as a grower, integrator, or tech innovator? Join us! 🙌 Special thanks to HortiHeroes and our innovation accelerator Division Q, Koppert Cress. And to our partners for the Greenhouse of the Future: Edwin Lambregts, World Horti Center, Vertify, Glastuinbouw Nederland, Tomatoworld, Harry Wubben Flowers & Funny Santini , Greenport West-Holland, and the European Union.

We’re excited to see our CEO, Rob van Straten, featured on the Building the Dream podcast! 🎙️ As we gear up for the Climate Tech Summit Benelux, Rob shares Skytree’s journey from an ESA spinoff to a leader in Direct Air Capture technology. Thanks for the feature—looking forward to an inspiring day at #CTSB2024! 🎧 Listen to Rob’s insights: https://lnkd.in/eh_eWJhQ #ClimateTech #DirectAirCapture #CarbonRemoval #Cleantech #Innovation #Skytree

🔉Announcing Skytree’s North American Expansion!🌎 We are proud to share the establishment of our North American HQ in Toronto, alongside a new satellite office in Nashville. We extend our gratitude to Stephen Lund ICD.D and Toronto Global, Mayor Olivia Chow, and Dutch Ambassador to Canada Margriet Vonno for their support. As a pioneer in carbon utilization and removal solutions, Skytree is bringing its advanced Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology to North America, enabling industries such as controlled environment agriculture (CEA), food & beverage, water treatment and carbon dioxide removal. Main updates: - New North American HQ in Toronto, advancing partnerships and innovation in climate tech - Expansion to create 80+ jobs in the next 3 years and drive CO2 removal & storage projects - Collaborations with Canadian businesses like Deep Sky and Fieldless with more to follow soon! This marks a significant step in our commitment to a sustainable future and leadership in the global transition toward net-zero.🌿 Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/eiSdH6Ah

250kg+ CO2 captured at Delphy! 🌱 🚀 Skytree’s Cumulus is actively participating in Delphy’s innovative pilot project focused on cultivating peppers using fossil-free heat. So far, our Cumulus Unit has been operating since September and has captured more than 250kg CO2, aiding the pepper's growth in a controlled environment. While the project is ongoing, these initial results highlight the potential of utilizing captured CO2 to boost crop production and decrease reliance on fossil fuels. We look forward to seeing how such innovations can lead to more sustainable practices in horticulture. 🙌

🤔 Interested in learning more about Skytree's Direct Air Capture solution? In our latest video series, Jonathan Quinn, technical sales manager, shares more about the benefits of onsite DAC, and how the technology addresses the challenges associated with unsustainable CO2 supplies, "hectic" CO2 schedules, and price fluctuations.

🌍 Stop wasting renewable energy. Use it to capture CO2 from the air. As the world races towards a low-carbon future, we're producing more renewable energy than ever before. But there’s a problem: too often, this clean energy is simply wasted. ❌   This summer, In states like California in the US, and parts of Germany, the supply of wind and solar power exceeded demand, leading to curtailment — when renewable energy production is restricted or dumped. This is where Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology can play a crucial role! Instead of losing valuable energy, we can use it to capture CO2 from the air and supply green CO2 for industries in need — like controlled environment agriculture, food & beverage, and water treatment. The result?  A sustainable, reliable source of CO2 that supports decarbonization and reduces reliance on fossil fuels. 🌿   Read the entire Skytree insights piece: https://lnkd.in/gFSsb3s7

Our North America sales team is at the Canadian Greenhouse Conference in Ontario this week. Yesterday our business development director Camille Hanna took to the stage to share more about how Direct Air Capture can improve CO2 supply for Canadian Controlled Environment Agriculture.

After attending the 8th CO2 Value Europe General Assembly and Value Days, we are pleased to see the launch of a 'first-of-a-kind' quantitative assessment of Carbon Capture and Utilization contribution citing that by 2050, Direct Air Capture alone will account for 46% of the 320 million tonnes of CO₂ captured annually, making it a cornerstone in the fight against climate change.🌍 With CCU contributing over 20% of the total technological effort needed to meet climate neutrality goals, these technologies are no longer just an option but a necessity. They will play a key role in: - Reducing greenhouse gas emissions - Producing essential products without relying on virgin fossil carbon - Decarbonizing key industries that are otherwise hard to abate Link to explanatory Video: https://lnkd.in/eBNK4S5f
