Yesterday me and my colleague had a chance to participate on Kauppapuutarhaliitto ry - Finnish Glasshouse Growers' Association Energy Day, which was organized for the members of the organization. The subject of the day was – well, of course energy issues related to greenhouse cultivation. The day was full of interesting lecturers, information, and conversations. I made short notes here to share. #bioenergy ry was sharing information about the bio-based energy sources and the current situation with those. Of course, discussion also led to peat and its use as a substrate, which is important topic for many growers. Harvesting peat for substrate will be more expensive in the future. It is interesting to see what sort of new materials we will see in the coming years in the substrate business. Wind and solar energy are increasing constantly. LED-business was represented by #signify. Fact is that LEDs are more energy efficient compared to HPS fixtures. But it is good to keep in mind all the greenhouses are different and there might be different solutions for them. Full LED cultivation is possible, if the if the heating system is sized correctly and moisture removal is taken into consideration. #jäspi and #helle-tech were presenting their solutions to the greenhouses for dehumidification and heat recovery. For the last we learned from #fingrid about the state of the power system and importance of the reserve market. The Centres for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment (ELY Centres) shared the situation with the investment aids regarding energy investments. At the end of the day, we visited Huiskula Garden to see their new heating plant. The lectures were interesting, but also it was great to see growers and discuss about possible co-operation 😊. Thanks for #kauppapuutarhaliitto for organizing this event!

🚀 Second stop on the Flow Batteries Tour is focused on the first Nordic agricultural flow battery installed in Norway! 𝑮𝒐𝒂𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕?💡 The goal with the pilot project is to sell multiple flow batteries to buildings with their own solar cell production in Norway, Sweden and Finland, says project manager Ellen Loxley-Slåttsveen from Bryte Batteries. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒔?🌍 The agricultural battery is the first in the Nordic region, and will contribute to increased utilisation of self-produced electricity, back-up power and facilitate increased future electrification of farm operations. The potential is huge! Although agriculture is leading the solar power development, there are over five hundred million square metres of unused roof space for solar cells in Norway alone. The project highlights the great value that #flowbatteries can have for energy-producing building owners and farmers across the Nordic region.

Have you ever wondered what makes up the cost of electricity and how much of it we can influence? Approximately 40% is composed of power electricity, and it is in this part that you, as a customer, can find opportunities for savings. It consists of a fixed monthly fee, electricity prices during peak hours, and prices during off-peak hours," explains Evžen Listík, the operational director of our subsidiary AVIA Energo, which provides energy supply for broader areas in Letňany. He adds: "Energy conservation is not only relevant for the impact on our wallet but also for our responsibility to our planet. Therefore, choose energy-efficient appliances, replace traditional bulbs with LEDs, keep your devices in good condition, and make the most of natural light. Every small step counts 💡🌍 #sustainability #energy #aviaenergo #energyprovider #letnany #cakovice #odiengroup

Thanks to Energy Marlborough (Marlborough Lines Limited (MLL) ) and Yealands Wine Group for helping streamline the setup of a #PowerCrate at the estate’s new viticulture office this December. Yealands already has made much headway on their sustainability path installing large solar arrays amongst many other more subtle but no less important projects. If you visit the winery this year you may also see our PowerCrate installation boosting the energy supply to the office, while offering a bit more energy security via the wind turbine. This standard PowerCrate version has 6kW of rated generation stored in a 28kWh battery with 10kVA supply from a grid compliant inverter.  While energy generation is dependent on local conditions we anticipate this unit providing approximately 7000kWh per year. Thanks also to Agritech New Zealand and Ara Ake for spreading the word about our innovation this past year. Our PowerCrate at Yealands demonstrates a nice overlap of Agritech, Agritourism, and Edge-of-grid applications. Below is a foreboding video clip of the PowerCrate being tested on site on December 12th. We hope there are fewer dark clouds on the horizon in 2024 for all of us... #PowerCrate #agritourism #offgridliving #energyresilience #agritech #PowerhouseWind #agrotourism

We're making great strides in our journey to net zero. One vehicle at a time, we're transitioning our operations to electric vehicles. This shift reduces point-of-source emissions, and soon, as our solar panels come online, we'll power these forklifts using clean, renewable solar energy. We're steadfast in our commitment to decarbonize our operations and lead the way towards a net-zero future! #buildersofprogress #buildprogresswithus #netzero #decarbonizingoperations

AKVA Group and Inseanergy eye floating solar energy for Chilean aquaculture Producer of equipment for the farming industry, AKVA Group, has established a partnership with Norwegian floating solar company Inseanergy to use floating #solarenergy to operate #fishfarming operations in Chile. According to AKVA group, the partnership focuses on the shift from fossil fuels to solar energy, decreasing fossil fuel consumption. This signifies a commitment to environmental responsibility and creates opportunities in locations previously considered challenging due to reliance on gas tanks or diesel, reducing the fossil footprint. “This is good for the environment and aligns perfectly with the industry’s shift towards sustainability. Chile’s solar energy potential is particularly promising for the aquaculture industry, and we are excited to explore this further,” said Christian Gerardo Schäfer Oyanedel, General Manager of AKVA group Chile. By partnering with Inseanergy and Kvernaland Energi, the AKVA group embraces low-emission and deep-farming technologies. The initiative is said to focus on precision farming with minimal emissions, utilizing advanced hybrid battery systems, solar power plants, software, and control systems tailored for sustainable aquaculture. “Sustainability is part of AKVA group’s culture and DNA. It is part of the solutions and products we sell and buy, as well as a driving force behind innovation. The goal is to achieve better cost-effective and sustainable operations,” said Alejandro Schafer Oyanedel. “This is a system of floating solar energy production that generates 100 % emission-free green energy. The solar power plant will work as a “floating generator” being able to produce as much as 290 pKwh. In combination with a battery pack and water feeding, we can reduce the running time of the diesel generator by up to 90 % on a typical fish farm.” https://lnkd.in/exQxgqyG #aquaculture #energy

Happy Mother's Day from Ama Energy Solar! Just like the warmth and light of the sun, mothers bring joy and energy to our lives.

Chile is a large fruit producer, and as any agricultural process requieres large amount of energy. Very glad to see that Chilean companies are leading the way for sustainable production in this part of the continent. #agriculture #sustainableagriculture #chile #fruit #solarenergy
