Heating and CO2 enrichment systems can improve yields in intensive greenhouse agriculture Combining both techniques, which are currently applied commercially, can potentially enhance their effect. The CO2 must be separated from the other noxious gases present (such as CO, NOX, and SO2) to avoid them becoming part of the supply. The CO2 is then provided to the greenhouse on demand in the same way as the heating. In this work, we show that an improved food productivity of a pilot-scale greenhouse system combined with CO2 capture by adsorption using activated carbon and heating with alternative fuel. The proposed system's overall performance was evaluated and optimized. The best values were 46.7 g/kg of CO2 storage capacity on the adsorbent bed, 99.99 % removal rate harmful gases from the gas supplied to the greenhouse, CO2 levels of 1851.0 ± 262.8 mg/Nm3 of the CO2 levels in the greenhouse, and an enrichment time of 2.18 ± 0.92 h/day. The system's effective performance over extended periods (November–February) was confirmed and the productivity of a crop species (tomato) was compared to a control, showing an increment of 18 %. The results indicate that this is a valuable option for increasing the crop yield. By integrating this combined system with advanced climate control strategies, it is possible to maximize the CO2 provided per day, leading to higher yields. The system proved to be stable under real pilot-scale conditions over winter periods (four months). |
