CO₂ Enrichment in Controlled Atmosphere
Delivering gas to your point-of-use
Boost the carbon dioxide content in the air of your greenhouse and increase your crop yield. CO2, water and light are essential elements for production the organic elements necessary for building up the structure of plants. To improve the photosynthetic yield of your greenhouse, Air liquide offers enrichment with pure cabon dioxide in the air.

Designed for your farming needs
Productivity and Quality
To accelerate plant growth, the atmosphere inside your greenhouse can be enriched with constant level of CO₂ within 800-1000ppm in the air (dependent on the type of plants grown) as it is consumed by plants. This will result in better yields through the quality of plants, its size, and thickness of leaves.
Energy Efficient
Carbon Dioxide can be delivered to plants via natural vaporisation of its liquid form without consuming energy and with minimal loss to environment. Alternative methods of CO₂ recovery require heating and/or fossil fuel combustion.
Recovered CO₂
Our CO₂ is recovered from industrial application emissions such as Hydrogen and Bioethanol production plants, before being liquefied and purified for use in various sectors.
Best Fit Solutions
Our experts will study the configuration of each greenhouse to install the most effective solution comprising of CO₂ vaporiser and distribution system with necessary equipment.
CO₂ requirements of commonly grown plants
The optimal CO₂ concentration is influenced by various factors such the surface and volume of greenhouses, number of air changes per hour and most importantly, the type of plants grown.
Product
Cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, melons, etc.
1,000 - 1,500 ppm of CO₂ increases the number of fruits and vegetables
Begonias, hydrangeas, etc.
1,000 - 2,000 ppm of CO₂ helps plants to flower earlier and increases plant size (dry matter)
Green plants
Ficus (figs), crotons, etc.
800 ppm of CO₂ boosts leaf area and helps plants to flower earlier
Roses, chrysanthemums, tulips, etc.
1,000 - 1,200 ppm of CO₂ helps produce higher quality flowers and flower earlier
