I Plantagons kontorslokaler på 22:a våningen, med utsikt över hela Stockholm, är en sjätteklass på besök och äter medhavd lunch. De har vunnit en innovationstävling med sitt förslag om växthus på höjden i städerna, inspirerat av det växthöghus som Plantagon håller på att utveckla. – De hade en jättebra idé om att byta ut tegeltaken på husen i stan mot glas och odla på vindarna, säger Plantagons vd Hans Hassle entusiastiskt. Det företag han driver håller på att utveckla ett sätt att odla grödor inne i städerna, genom vertikal odling i växthus på höjden. Det första i världen planeras att byggas i Linköping – just nu väntar man på en detaljplan för att sedan söka bygglov – och Hans Hassle hoppas att det ska stå klart nästa år. Men varför? – Vi blir hela tiden fler människor, på jorden och framförallt i städerna. Ungefär fyra procent av jordens yta är odlingsbar och på den produceras 93 procent av all världens mat i dag. – Vi är vana vid mångfald.

. Could This be the Answer to the World’s Energy Crisis? - Nature News It’s a breakthrough indeed for the science world when claims of being able to create diesel fuel and ethanol just by using sunlight, water and carbon dioxide were made recently by Biotechnology Company known as Joule Unlimited, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The company’s researchers call it ‘Energy Independence’ where the ability to produce this new type of fuel for running jet engines whether in facilities both large or small with a much cheaper costs than fossil fuels. Is it the answer that we're looking for to save the world? Joule Unlimited Chief Executive Bill Sims has this to say about the findings, ‘We make some lofty claims which we believe, validated and also we have shown it to investors. This type of organisms make use of the sunlight and carbon dioxide before producing its desired end result and secrete ethanol or hydrocarbons which is the basis of various fuels like diesel as one of the byproduct of photosynthesis.

Earth Times Vertical Farming Algae, like all plants, require carbon dioxide, water with nutrients and sunlight for growth. The VAT bioreactor technology is ideal for location adjacent to heavy producers of carbon dioxide such as coal fired power plants, refineries or manufacturing facilities, as the absorption of CO2 by the algae significantly reduces greenhouse gases while also removing a large portion of the harmful pollutants.-Source 90% of the weight of dry algae supposedly contains recovered carbon from atmosphere - You cant have a better carbon absorber than this! It can actually generate a revenue stream for the companies using this by making biodiesel as well. One of the pioneers of the ORGANIC vertical growth system is the Valcent group. The Vertical farming system The following is a summery of the advantages described by the valcent group: Revolutionary High Density Vertical Growth (HDVG) system, now producing vegetables within its greenhouse production plant in El Paso, Texas.

bles-id GRÜNE JUGEND Nürnberg – Aktuelles WebEcoist World’s 1st Plantagon Greenhouse for Urban Farming Under Construction (in Sweden) Agriculture Published on February 13th, 2012 | by Zachary Shahan Here’s a pretty cool urban farming solution—a Plantagon greenhouse for urban farming. Construction on the first one broke ground in Sweden last week. This unique vertical-farming greenhouse will also be “[part of] an international Centre of Excellence for Urban Agriculture, a demo-plant for Swedish clean-tech and a climate-smart way to use excess heating and CO2 from industries,” a news release on the groundbreaking states. Aside from offering an innovative vertical farming solution, “Plantagon plans to develop integrated solutions for energy, excess heat, waste, CO2 and water” in cooperation with several partners. Here’s a video more on the Plantagon greenhouse: The first Plantagon urban greenhouse is being built in Linköping, Sweden. “This is a historic day for Plantagon.

Cuarto derecha Para movernos en la ciudad, usábamos las bicicletas de Valenbisi. Muy cómodo. La Valencia Disseny Week se acabó. La ADCV nos trató como reyes y nos organizó un montón de actividades dentro del encuentro FEED. Nuestro grupo de blogueros durante la visita a la empresa Lzf Lamps. Tuvimos la oportunidad de conocer a muchos diseñadores industriales y gráficos, además de visitar algunas de las grandes empresas y estudios de diseño valencianos. Hubo el 25 aniversario de la ADCV. Volvimos ayer con las maletas cargadas de información y las cámaras de foto llenas de imágenes curiosas, bonitas e interesantes.
