CO2 Gro Inc. Announces Commercial Feasibility with Satter Orchids of the Netherlands CO2 GRO Inc. announced its second commercial feasibility for its CO2 Delivery SolutionsTM technology in the E.U. with Netherlands based Satter Orchids ("Satter"). GROW's UK based Marketing Partner Rika Biofuel Developments Limited ("Rika") will lead the project in their exclusive Netherlands territory. The first commercial feasibility will be on a small portion of Satter's 4-hectare strawberry greenhouse for a term of six months with the goal of increasing berry fruit yield. Upon success, Satter will have the option of conducting a second larger 1-hectare commercial feasibility for another six months. Satter also operates a 4-hectare orchids greenhouse growing various strains of phalaenopsis. The Satter strawberry feasibility will proceed first as strawberries as a faster growing plant compared to orchids. Once Satter is satisfied with the benefits of CO2 Delivery SolutionsTM on commercially grown strawberries, their intention is to test the technology on their commercially grown orchids, based on the impressive results announced by GROW on December 1, 2020.

CO2 GRO Inc. Announces First Leamington Ontario Greenhouse Commercial Feasibility with Prism Farms Ltd CO2 GRO Inc. announced its first Leamington, Ontario commercial feasibility with Prism Farms Ltd. Leamington and the County of Essex region is the greenhouse capital of Canada, with over 80 million square feet of greenhouses. The Prism project is also GROW's first commercial feasibility on tomatoes. Prism owns and operates 7.1 acres of glass greenhouses and 10.3 acres of plastic greenhouses for a total of over 750,000 square feet of greenhouse grow space. The commercial feasibility will be for a one full year crop cycle. This is due to variations in Prism's CO2 gas availability during the year. Prism generates waste CO2 gas from its Combined Heat and Power units (CHP). However, Prism has to vent heat during summer months and warmer spring and fall periods, which results in CO2 gas being vented. Consequently, the plant yield benefits of CO2 gassing are reduced during these venting periods which can exceed four months a year. This creates an opportunity for Prism to use CO2 Delivery Solutions to fully capture enhanced tomato yields during the hotter summer months as well as warmer spring and fall heat venting periods.

CO2 GRO Inc Signs Exclusive Marketing Agreement with South Pharmacrop (Pty) Ltd CO2 GRO Inc. announced that it has signed an Exclusive Marketing Agreement with South Africa's Pharmacrop (Pty) Ltd. ("Pharm") to introduce and install CO2 Delivery SolutionsTM systems into covered horticulture markets in the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) region. A 2020 GreenCape Sustainable Agriculture study for the South Africa ("RSA") Department of Agriculture stated there was a 171% and 55% growth during 2013-2018 in covered shade netting and tunnel grow facility hectares. Since that 2017-2018 census, an additional 2,822 hectares of shade netting grow structures have been added in RSA. RSA's covered grow market size is accelerating due to food security issues and high value fruit and nut export opportunities. Shade netting and tunnel grow facilities cannot supplement with CO2 gassing but can apply aqueous CO2 mist using GROW's CO2 Delivery Solutions. Ankündigung • Dec 04
Co2 Gro Inc. Announces 30% Accelerated Flowering Results Using Co2 Delivery Solutions on C4 Orchids CO2 Gro Inc. announced accelerated flowering results in ornamental orchid species receiving supplemental CO2 via CO2 Delivery Solutions compared to a control grown under standard atmospheric conditions. This orchid grow trial began in April 2020 at Minnesota based St. Cloud State University's greenhouse facilities. As of mid-November, the CO2 supplemented orchids were achieving full bloom approximately three months faster than controlorchids. This is consistent with all other GROW scientific and commercial feasibility plant growth results which show benefit from CO2 supplementation delivered via aqueous CO2 misting. GROW's potential orchid greenhouse customer cannot use CO2 gassing due to heat constraints. Orchids account for about 10% of global fresh cut flower and potted plant trade. The Netherlands represents approximately 40% of the world orchid market followed by Thailand (28%), Taiwan (10%), Singapore (10%) and New Zealand (6%). Importing countries are Japan (30%), UK (12%), Italy (10%), France (7%) and the USA (6%) (Commercial Orchids pp 300). While most orchids grow from seed to sale in less than a year, GROW's trial is on orchids classified as C4 desert plants that take three years to grow from seed to sale. Most faster growing plants grown including certain orchids are in the C3 family where they intake CO2 during the day via opening their leaf stoma (pores) to absorb CO2 needs for photosynthesis. C4 desert plants shut their leaf stomat by day to minimize water evapotranspiration so they absorb and store CO2 at night for day photosynthesis. Ankündigung • Nov 19
