As more companies and countries make net-zero pledges and strengthen their sustainability commitments, the agricultural sector is under pressure to rethink traditional practices. One area ripe for innovation? The source of CO₂ in controlled-environment agriculture (CEA).
In controlled environments like vertical farms and greenhouses, carbon dioxide is essential for plant growth. Growers often purchase CO₂ in gas cylinders or as a by-product from industrial processes—methods that are far from sustainable. This is where carbon capture technology steps in.
Modern direct air capture companies, including Carbominer, are pioneering carbon-capturing technology that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and delivers it directly where it’s needed. Our carbon capture from the atmosphere approach enables greenhouses to enrich their environments with CO₂ from local air, rather than relying on fossil-based sources.
By using CO₂ capture technology powered by clean energy, greenhouses can significantly reduce their footprint while improving plant yields. It’s a win-win for both sustainable growing and the planet.
At Carbominer, we’re proud to be part of a new wave of carbon capture companies helping agriculture meet its net zero goals—with scalable, smart, and sustainable solutions.
