Armenian Innovation Greenhouse develops project for using surplus
energy of filling stations for heating greenhouses
YEREVAN, November 23. / ARKA /. An Armenian company, called Innovation
Greenhouse said it has developed a project for using the surplus
energy generated by liquefied natural gas filling stations for heating
greenhouses.
Speaking to reporters, its director Gor Rustamyan, said if greenhouses
are built near filling stations they can use the surplus energy to
meet some 50-60 percent of their heating needs.
"The surplus power is generated by the stations' compressors, cooling
and filling cylinders working under high pressure. This energy can be
used by greenhouses," he explained.
Rustamyan said negotiations with the owners of two liquefied gas
stations in Armavir ended successfully. He also said the project was
approved by environmentalists, who said it is an absolute safe
technology.
According to preliminary calculations, the introduction of this
technology will require about 7-8 thousand dollars, while the owner of
a greenhouse will save annually to 10 thousand dollars.
He said this idea is unique and is currently in the process of patenting.
Innovation Greenhouse was founded in 2012. This project aimed at the
development of agriculture, was recognized the winner of an
international competition "Smart solutions of smart countries". The
project also participated in international exhibition-competition
DigiTec Business Forum 2012" and Startup Bootcamp 2012. -0-
