🎉 3 Years, 5 New Sites, and Preparing our First Hectare-Scale Installation 🎉

What started as a bold idea—to let greenhouses generate clean energy without sacrificing crop yield—has grown into a concrete solution, now being adopted by some of Europe’s most respected growers.

To celebrate our third anniversary last week, we’ve installed five new demonstration projects over the course of two weeks with industry leaders in Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands:
🌱 Imhof Bio (Switzerland)
🌱 TomatoMasters (Belgium)
🌱 Lingezegen Energy (Netherlands)
🌱 BioVerbeek (Netherlands)
🌱 Division Q / Koppert Cress (Netherlands)

These projects are the foundation for what comes next. We’ve gathered key learnings, proven our ability to execute efficiently across multiple sites, and are now fully focused on scaling up.

🚀 Next up: our first hectare-scale installation starting this April, in Switzerland.

A massive thank you to our incredible team that worked hard on these installations (Xavier, Théophile, Adrien and Dominik) for their skill and dedication. Your commitment is crucial to our success.

💚 To everyone who’s been part of the journey—growers, partners, investors, supporters—your success is our success. Here’s to the next chapter in sustainable greenhouse energy.

🌟 A huge congratulations to former CSEM colleague, Aurélie Grivel, for receiving the prestigious Swiss Engineering Award from Swiss Engineering STV UTS ATS for her outstanding BSc thesis! 🌟

While working part-time as a Senior Technician with us, Aurélie also completed her studies in Industrial Systems (Mechanical Design) at HEIG-VD. Talk about dedication! 💪

🛠️ In 2024, her innovative work on assessing shape distortion in the SLA 3D printing process, with the aim of redesigning a 3D-printed nozzle, caught the attention of industry leaders. This is a perfect example of combining technical expertise with forward-thinking solutions to optimize cutting-edge manufacturing processes.
