CO2-Negative Cultivation Strategy

Feeding a growing world means producing more with less. Less energy, less water, and far fewer emissions. KUBO’s CO2-negative cultivation strategy brings advanced greenhouse design, energy integration and data driven climate control together in one proven approach. The result is a system that captures more carbon than it emits and delivers strong, predictable yields for growers and investors.

What does this strategy involve?

KUBO’s CO₂-Negative Cultivation Strategy is an innovative greenhouse concept that captures more CO₂ than it emits. Developed and tested in our high-tech test centers, this strategy combines smart software, advanced hardware upgrades, additional sensors, and innovative cultivation methods. The result is a perfectly balanced system for energy, water, and CO₂ management.

Growers achieve the same high yields, benefit from lower operational costs, and reach a verified negative CO₂ footprint. For growers and investors alike, this means profitable production with measurable climate impact, a sustainable step forward for the future of horticulture.

Answers backed by decades of greenhouse expertise

With almost a century of experience in greenhouse engineering, KUBO knows what works and why. Our FAQ covers the most common questions about this strategy, but every project is unique. Let’s discuss how we can tailor a design to your goals.

Frequently asked questions

How much lower is the CO₂ footprint with KUBO technology?

An independent, ISO-validated study confirms that Ultra-Clima® tomato cultivation has a 25.4% lower CO₂ footprint (0.949 kg CO₂e/kg tomato) compared to a traditional Venlo greenhouse.

Does the strategy also save energy?

Yes. Energy consumption in Ultra-Clima® greenhouses is up to 18.5% lower thanks to efficient climate systems and smart ventilation.

What does this mean for water and resource use?

The semi-closed design results in less evaporation and more efficient irrigation, leading to significant savings on water and crop protection products.

Is this only applicable to tomatoes?

No. The technology is widely applicable. KUBO expects similar positive impact for peppers, cucumbers, strawberries, and leafy greens.

Who validates these claims?

The results have been verified by Anthesis, an internationally recognized consultancy. The calculations have been officially audited according to ISO-14067.
