SolaRoof Technology CO2 Mitigation / sequestration using highly profitable and sustainable  closed greenhouse system:   SolaRoof CEA Closed Or, Controlled Environment Agriculture increases plant growth by 2000% CO2 from power stations CO2 from gas Power Stations used Worldwide Cannot be classed as mitigation/sequestration as majority is vented to atmosphere Heating Gas burnt during the day to produce CO2 Heat stored in water tanks and distributed at night  Can only use gas or kerosene for clean CO2 Energy inefficient process at each stage Cooling and humidity control Only way to cool currently is venting – releasing 60% of added CO2 Humidity controlled by ‘burst’ heating then venting Creates a heating / cooling seesaw effect – very energy intensive Horticultural Industry’s panacea is a ‘closed’ greenhouse system  Allowing:  1000ppm CO2 Enrichment No ventilation causing loss of heat energy Retain transpired water Increased yields with reduced energy costs Closed Greenhouses Subject of much research over last 30 years Current system – Innogrow – is not viable: Innogrow - issues Uses highly inefficient “Venlo” glasshouses  with no insulation properties Use of groundwater – site specific Significantly more expensive to build and maintain  Reports serious issues controlling humidity – climate sensitive Essentially Innogrow is an attempt at using best practice heat-pump system from commercial buildings put into inefficient glasshouses Ideal sustainable Closed greenhouse Would collect solar heat gain and  store the energy until needed at night Heat without use of fossil fuels Cool without expensive capital equipment Retain all transpired water Be readily adaptable to any climate No release of CO2 to atmosphere SolaRoof  Technology A revolutionary new design that utilises ‘bio-mimickery’ to maximise plant response within a dynamically controlled closed environment with minimal energy requirements SolaRoof Using liquid bubble Insulation  20 times better than glass added or removed in minutes   LIQUID BUBBLE TECHNOLOGY  >90% reduction of energy 12 month growing season  Low capital cost Works in any climate Enables artificial lighting  Yields >125% higher SolaRoof SolaRoof Manufactured by LifeSynthesis Replacing conventional greenhouse Glass and Plastic Film Covers With Advanced transparent polymers Laminated  to strong glass fabric scrims
