Accelerating Growth using Dissolved CO2 CO2 Delivery Solution Analytics At SCSU

17

▪ Demonstrated 800% More CO2 Conductance – dissolved CO2 enters the

entire leaf surface; CO2 gas can only enter leaf stoma (pores)

▪ Demonstrated 400% More Chlorophyll A– dissolved CO2 in a leaf

immediately creates sharply higher chlorophyll A growth

▪ Demonstrated Top of Leaves are 90% as Effective as Bottom for dissolved

CO2 conductance – means overhead sprinklers are highly effective

▪ Demonstrated 50% Less CO2 Usage – CO2 Delivery added 20% more

pepper value over CO2 gassed peppers using only half the CO2 gas

Accelerating Growth using Dissolved CO2

• 99% less E. coli growth using CO2 Delivery on both pepper and cannabis plants:

• 130%+ longer pepper plant life with powdery mildew using CO2 Delivery. CO2 Delivery cannabis plants given dry powdery mildew showed no infection while all control cannabis plants did. Two commercial U.S. sites demonstrated.

Highest Value Indoors & Outdoors – Cannabis Buds

• A 1M sq. ft cannabis greenhouse grows 5 crops/y at $60M/crop (800 PPM CO2 gassing).

• CO2 Delivery added 20% more bud weight grown 20% faster with 20%-75% more THC.

• Our 20% pepper value add versus CO2 gassed pepper result points to one more crop/year.

• Outdoor cannabis is only one crop/y. No outdoor CO2 gassing options until CO2 Delivery.

Dissolved CO2 Saves Big $$

CO2 gas dissolved at 1300 ppm stays in water with little off-gassing. At 1300 ppm gassed, 60% of CO2 gassing is lost (OMAFRA Greenhouse Study)

• CO2 Delivery Solution use yields 20%+ more plant value than CO2 gassing (proven

on peppers, lettuce, algae), is safer for workers AND cuts CO2 gas use by 50%

CO2 Delivery Solution Use Cuts CO2 Gassing Use in Half

A 1M sq. ft greenhouse uses 3,000 MT of CO2/year for

33% added plant growth at a cost of $300K-$600K/y

60% CO2 gassing losses cost $180K - $360K/y
