I just read a fantastic and inspiring article in The Futurist magazine about a greenhouse that is using the waste CO2 and steam produced by local Terra Nitrogen to grow tomatoes. In addition to sequestering 12,500 TONS of CO2 the greenhouse will also use waste steam to heat the greenhouse in the winter. Further reducing CO2 emissions this greenhouse will eliminate the need to import tomatoes from Spain in the winter. This is a perfect compliment to my previous post on Happy Shrimp, a company that is using waste heat water from a power plant to keep their shrimp farms warm in the cold Scandinavian winters.
