THERMODYNAMIC CONTROL OF AGRICULTURAL GREENHOUSES
The Agriterma projects sets out to develop a climate control system for agricultural greenhouses, combining several different renewable energy production and storage solutions (solar thermal, near-surface geothermal energy, heat storage units, recovery of unavoidable heat, and reversible heat-pumps) to replace the fossil fuel systems generally used.
The driving principle behind the Agrilterma project is to significantly reduce the quantity of greenhouse gas emissions produced by farming activities. Its integrated approach means that it is possible to protect crops against extreme weather events, while both reducing and decarbonising the energy consumption of agricultural bodies in greenhouses.
