Hot Lime Labs - Tijs Robinson
Hot Lime Labs is a Lower Hutt start-up developing technology for large commercial greenhouses to increase crop yields. Modern commercial greenhouse operations can produce up to 20 times the yields of open fields while using only a fraction of the resources typically needed. Commercial greenhouses produce $35b of crops per annum and are growing rapidly. CO2 enrichment enables 10-30% greater crop yields but the demand for CO2 far exceeds the current fossil-fuel based supply. Hot Lime Labs technology will allow the production of clean CO2 from renewable biomass source, on site, to meet this global need. Hot Lime Labs is currently developing a pilot plant that will be installed at a large New Zealand capsicum grower this summer.
Limber – Bart de Vries
