INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR CO₂ CONVERSION AND SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION

brand/patent Specifications

The proposed patent concerns an innovative system for CO₂ valorisation, designed to reduce the environmental impact of fossil-fuel power plants and to generate economic value through controlled agriculture.

The invention consists of an integrated system that intercepts combustion fumes at the outlet of thermoelectric power plants, extracts and purifies carbon dioxide, and channels it into multi-level hydroponic greenhouses where it is used to accelerate the growth of high-value vegetable crops. The process harnesses chlorophyll photosynthesis to transform CO₂ into oxygen, thus contributing to real decarbonisation and circular recovery of emissions.

Significant technical features

• Fume recovery through ducting and forced ventilation systems.
• Treatment of gases with:

Electrostatic precipitators for dust removal.

Heat exchangers for lowering the temperature of flue gases.

Zeolite filters for nitrogen separation and CO₂ concentration.

• Controlled distribution of CO₂ within multilevel hydroponic greenhouses.
• Control of the growing environment by means of selective valves that retain CO₂ and release oxygen.
• In-house agricultural production in optimised environments with LED lighting and energy supply from renewable sources (solar panels and micro-wind).

Competitive Advantages

• Reduction of climate-altering emissions without decommissioning existing plants.

Competitive advantages

• Transformation of CO₂ into an agricultural resource, generating a useful and saleable output.
• Application retrofit to existing thermal power plants or installation on new plants.
• Modularity and scalability, suitable for plants of different sizes.
• Compatibility
• Compatibility; with incentives for ecological transition and ESG logic.

Industrial applications

• Utilities and thermoelectric power producers: to reduce the carbon footprint and enhance CO
• Advanced agricultural companies (hydroponics, vertical farming): to integrate high-yield crops with energy production facilities.
• Carbon capture & reuse (CCU) operators: to expand the portfolio of usable technologies.
• Green-tech funds and investors: interested in patented technologies with high environmental impact and monetisation potential.
• Start-ups and system integrators in the field of sustainability: to develop pilot projects in public-private partnerships.
