For CO2 in greenhouses, growers currently have several options. A commonly used method is utilising CO2 released during the combustion of natural gas in a combined heat and power plant (CHP). These installations not only produce heat and electricity but also generate CO2 that can benefit plant growth.
Additionally, growers have the option to obtain CO2 through the OCAP pipeline network. This network transports CO2 directly from companies that emit it as a byproduct to the greenhouses. This is an efficient way to reuse industrial emissions for agricultural purposes. A third, often more expensive option, is the use of liquid CO2, delivered in tanks by trucks. However, with the shift to sustainable energy sources and plans to store CO2 under the North Sea, the availability of CO2 for horticulture may decrease in the future.
