LG Flowers Mention DryGair as Part of CO2-Neutral and Chemical-Free Cultivation
In a recent Goedemorgen Groente article, Dutch flower growers, LG Flowers, discuss their plan for CO2-neutral and chemical-free cultivation by 2026. One of the measures the company mentions in this plan is DryGair dehumidifiers.
The following are excerpts from the original Goedemorgen Groente article, published in Dutch.
Promoting Environmentally Friendly Flower Cultivation
“We want to grow and produce in a way that contributes positively to the earth and everyone who lives on it. To ensure that we get there, we have set two goals for 2026 – to grow our flowers in a CO2 neutral way, and without chemical pesticides.” LG Flowers announced recently.
“We have already drastically reduced our CO2 emissions in recent years. From an emission of 300 grams per germini flower in 2020, to 100 grams in 2023. This is the result of a drastic reduction in our gas consumption and efficient use of that gas (and electricity that we generate with gas) by our cultivation specialist.”
“For example, we invested in LED lighting, an E-boiler, DryGair dehumidifiers, a new type of screen cloth, and cameras and sensors in the greenhouse.”
Utilizing DryGair for Sustainable Cultivation
Commercial greenhouse growing is very energy intensive. This is especially true for flowers, such as the gerberas grown by LG Flowers, as they require very specific growing conditions, and need to be high-quality in order to be marketable.
DryGair lets growers create the ideal conditions for flower cultivation, in an effective and efficient manner, by providing powerful, high-efficiency dehumidification. Coupled with a patented air circulation system, DryGair ensures both uniform and optimal climate conditions everywhere in the greenhouse.
Using DryGair, growers can close and insulate their greenhouses, using energy screens and other insulating measures. Without needing to ventilate to reduce humidity, growers save an average of 50% on heating costs.
The optimal humidity DryGair creates also assists in preventing the most common diseases and molds, minimizing the need for chemical sprays as well.
For these reasons, the DryGair system is increasingly being used to reduce the environmental footprint of horticulture, minimize energy and fossil fuel use, and contribute to sustainable cultivation.
