Turn waste heat into energy for greenhouse production

KUBO turns available heat into a productive energy source for greenhouse projects. By integrating heat sources, Ultra-Clima® greenhouse technology and climate systems, we create efficient solutions that make low-grade heat from industry, data centers and other sources work for food production.

The Oppurtunity

Turning waste heat into greenhouse energy

Waste heat for greenhouse production is heat from industrial processes, data centers or energy facilities that is recovered and integrated into the greenhouse heating and climate system. With the right greenhouse technology and climate strategy, even lower-temperature heat can become a valuable resource for food production.

KUBO designs the greenhouse solution around the available energy source, creating an efficient energy concept tailored to the location and production goals.

Data center heat

Use heat generated by server cooling as part of an integrated energy and food production ecosystem.

Power & energy facilities

Connect available heat from power generation and energy infrastructure to large-scale greenhouse production.

Low-grade heat sources

Explore opportunities from geothermal, aquathermal and other suitable low-temperature energy sources.

Our Approach

How KUBO turns available heat into a greenhouse solution

A successful waste heat project is about more than connecting a heat source to a greenhouse. Temperature, capacity, availability, greenhouse design and climate control all need to work together.

KUBO brings these elements together in one integrated production concept, from the available heat source to the climate around the crop.

Business Value

Creating value on multiple sides

Waste heat can create a powerful connection between energy infrasructure and food production.

For growers

Use locally available heat to reduce dependence on conventional energy sources and create a better energy strategy.

For heat producers

Create a productive destination for heat that might otherwise remain underutilized or need to be discharged.

For investors

Waste heat can connect energy infrastructure, scalable food production and long-term project value in one integrated concept.

Proven Experience
