In part two of our Greenhouse Energy and Carbon Benchmarking video series, GLASE Principal Investigator Dr. Neil Mattson and Executive Director Gretchen Schimelpfenig explore alternatives to traditional fossil fuel heating systems in controlled environment agriculture.
This episode explores key questions growers face when considering alternative fuels, including cost assessments and determining the right fit for their greenhouses. The discussion covers a range of heating technologies, from biomass systems and electric boilers to air source heat pumps and geothermal heating. Whether you’re just starting to explore sustainable options or are ready to invest in low-carbon infrastructure, this video provides valuable insights to support your decision-making.
