ProSelect Launches GC6 Carbon Capture System for Greenhouse Industry

ProSelect Gas Treating, a provider of CO₂ Carbon Capture Systems for biomass-fueled operations, has launched a carbon capture system, GC6, for the greenhouse industry at the SunSelect Produce greenhouses in Delta, British Columbia.

The GC6 Carbon Capture System traps CO₂ from biomass combustion emissions and changes it to fertilizers, which can be used for the growth of eco-friendly greenhouse crops. The green house developers can avail a cost efficient, sustainable clean energy now.

Enormous renewable and low cost biomass resources including wood waste can be used to distribute CO₂ fertilizer using the GC6 technology, which also saves energy and fuel expenditure.

The entry of CO₂ into atmosphere is interrupted by the GC6. By using this technology, biomass is burnt and the released CO₂ is trapped at a rate of 5 t/hr. Instead of burying CO₂ in the soil, the system removes pure CO₂ from biomass and provides it to the plant vegetation. The GC6 technology employs an exclusive patented organic solvent for this conversion.

Generally, biomass is inexpensive and sustainable and used for heating greenhouses. However, farmers relied on liquid CO₂ and natural gas to make the land rich in CO₂ , currently, they can use the GC6 system to obtain CO₂ fertilizer.

Other than saving energy and fuel expenditure, the farmers can also avail fee reduction on chemical disposal, approach green government grants to offset procurement price and create income by marketing carbon credits through programs such as Offsetters, which provides carbon management solutions.
