Status: Pilot
The "Plantscraper", with a 4000 square metre installation, is designed for vertical agriculture of vegetables in urban areas. Plantagon intends to develop integrated solutions for energy, excess heat, waste, CO2 and water.
Inside the massive glass walls, vegetables will be grown in pots and then transitioned to trays positioned around a giant central helix. The plants grow as the trays slowly migrate down the central core and are ready to be harvested once they reach the bottom. Plant residue and manure will be collected along the way and transformed into biogas to run the heating and cooling systems of the greenhouse.
