First U.S. Greenhouse CHP Project With CO_2 Fertilization

摘要

GE and its customer Houweling's Tomatoes, a leading North American greenhouse grower, have unveiled the first combined heat and power greenhouse project in America that captures carbon dioxide for use in plant fertilization. Using two of GE's 4.36 MW Jenbacher J624 two-staged, turbocharged natural gas engines and a GE-designed CO_2 fertilization system, the plant provides 10.6 MW of hot water for heating, 8.7 MW of power and CO_2 to Houweling's 125-acre tomato greenhouse in Camarillo, Calif.
