Overview
Protected cropping with Energy from Waste.
Marc Stammbach, Hitachi Zosen Inova Australia
Details
Protected cropping in greenhouses increases food production up to 70 fold compared with typical outdoor production. It allows year-round high-quality production of food while saving native land and water use. Enclosed cropping allows organic farming without the use of insecticides and pesticides. Thus growers yield a higher premium for their product and employ staff permanently.
The co-location with Energy from Waste diverts waste from landfill, creates clean energy from waste (reduced carbon footprint) and captures and utilizes carbon dioxide waste stream (closed loop).
Existing co-located sites as well as new Australian projects will be presented.
