ZINEG - The Low Energy Greenhouse

The main objective of the project is to reduce the consumption of fossile energy and hence the (fossile) CO₂-emission for crop production in greenhouses to zero. This ambitious goal can be achieved by using a system-oriented approach which consists of a cooperation of technical innovation and technical arrangements in cultivation.
