Integrated Energy Solutions for High-Performance Greenhouses

AB supports agricultural businesses and greenhouse growers in developing more efficient, productive, and sustainable greenhouses through integrated solutions that combine cogeneration, heat recovery, CO₂ utilization, and emissions control.

AB's solutions enable the simultaneous production of electricity, thermal energy, and CO₂, maximizing the value of the fuel used while helping to increase crop profitability, energy resilience, and environmental sustainability.

AB develops and integrates advanced automation systems for greenhouse lighting management (Master Grow Light Computer), intelligently coordinating generators, electrical loads, and equipment throughout the facility. This optimizes energy production and consumption, enhances operational reliability, and improves the maintenance management of generators and lighting systems.

Operation

AB cogeneration transforms natural gas into three strategic resources for the greenhouse: electricity for lighting and auxiliary services, heat for climate control, and CO₂ to enhance crop yields. A single solution designed to improve energy efficiency, productivity, and sustainability.

CO₂: a Resource for Crop Growth

In modern greenhouses, CO₂ is an important production factor. AB's cogeneration technology makes it possible to recover and utilize the CO₂ contained in exhaust gases, using it to enhance photosynthesis and improve crop development. This helps increase yields and create optimal growing conditions throughout the year.

Always-available energy

Greenhouses require a continuous energy supply to ensure lighting, climate control, irrigation, and environmental management. AB solutions can also operate in island mode, supporting the greenhouse during power grid outages and ensuring the continuity of production activities. Thanks to the control systems developed by AB, lighting, climate control, and energy production can be managed in an optimal way.

WHY ECOMAX® FOR GREENHOUSES

Maximum Energy Utilization

ECOMAX® simultaneously generates electricity, heat, and CO₂, maximizing the value of natural gas and covering the greenhouse’s main energy requirements.

Energy for Every Need

The electricity produced can power grow lights and other greenhouse services or be exported to the grid, providing maximum operational flexibility.

Year-Round Climate Control

Recovered heat can be used to supply greenhouse heating and climate control systems, ensuring optimal growing conditions in every season.

Modular and Scalable Solution

Thanks to its modular design, ECOMAX® can be tailored to the actual needs of the greenhouse operation and expanded over time as production grows.

Easy Integration

Available in both indoor and outdoor configurations, ECOMAX® is designed for seamless integration into both new greenhouse projects and existing facilities, reducing installation time and complexity.

A Single Partner

From the feasibility study and system design through to after-sales service, AB supports customers at every stage of the project with specialized expertise dedicated to the greenhouse sector.
