In the Netherlands, greenhouses not only feed the country, they feed the world. Around 80% of fruits, vegetables, and flowers grown here are exported globally. To keep crops thriving, growers rely on one key ingredient: CO₂. With the right levels, crop growth can increase by 20–30%.
But there’s a challenge. Most greenhouses run CHPs (Combined Heat & Power systems) that produce heat and CO₂ at night, when photosynthesis doesn’t happen. This means tonnes of CO₂ go unused.
The Solution: Catch & Release
Our innovative Catch & Release system captures CO₂ at night, stores it, and releases it during the day, right when plants need it most.
Benefits at a glance:
- 20–30% better crop growth
- No wasted CO₂
- Lower gas use & emissions
- No need to run CHPs just for daytime CO₂

Capture → Absorb → Store → Desorb → Release → Reuse
