Trudeau is a waste of C02 emissions.
Sensible solutions for C02. Instead of trying to force arbitrary emissions cuts, use technology to create commercial uses for C02.
Precision Ag that's fighting climate change by dissolving CO2 gas into grower and shareholder profits
CO2 GRO Inc. is revolutionizing plant growth through grower use of patent protected CO2 Foliar Spray
Increased levels of atmospheric CO2 gas enhance plant development
Successful testing and Commercial Agreements demonstrate profound yield enhancements using CO2 GRO's Foliar Spray that dissolves CO2 gas without bubbles
CO2 Foliar Spray technology is attracting a wide range of agri-industry partnerships
Rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) caused by humans are often cast as the main culprit of climate change. However, CO2 has provided significant greening for up to half of Earth's vegetated lands over the last 35 years, according to a recent report published in Nature Climate Change.
The study carried out by a team of 32 authors from 24 institutions across eight countries, utilized NASA surveillance and satellite technology to conclude that the greening represents an increase in leaves on plants and trees equivalent in area that is two times the continental United States.
"Results showed that increased CO2 levels explain 70 per cent of the greening effect," said study co-author Ranga Myneni, a professor in the Department of Earth and Environment at Boston University.
For John Archibald and his son Aaron, who helm CO2 GRO Inc. (TSX.V: GROW, OTC:BLONF), the report underlines their entrepreneurial vision of turning CO2 pollutants into profit.
"CO2 GRO is all about revolutionizing plant growth using advanced CO2 technologies," said John Archibald, the company's CEO.
Translated, that means bigger and healthier plants grown faster, proven to increase yields, profits, provide for better food security and counter the negative impacts of climate change, said Archibald.
If that sounds like making money out of thin air pollutants, it is.
Leaves create glucose energy from absorbed CO2 gas in their chloroplast cells when light photons trigger photosynthesis. This natural process converts CO2 drawn into plant leaf stomata from the air with water and nutrients tapped from the ground. Plant glucose is a six carbon (C6) sugar. It is the primary source of plant food, fibre and fuel for human life on Earth.
Numerous greenhouse studies have shown higher CO2 levels lead to an average of 33 per cent higher plant yields. Under 150 PPM of CO2 in greenhouses, plants die. A sealed greenhouse must, therefore, keep adding CO2 gas into greenhouses as plants consume it.
The 100-year challenge has been how to deliver more targeted levels of CO2 indoors safely and economically while minimizing the amount of CO2 escaping from porous greenhouses back into the atmosphere, said Archibald.
That's the genesis of GRO's patent-protected CO2 Foliar Spray technology. It is attracting a broad spectrum of agri-industry players growing everything from cannabis, hemp, lettuce, micro-greens, peppers, tomatoes, grapes and medical tobacco, ironically, for the protein extraction of human cancer and vaccine drugs.
GRO's CO2 technologies are commercially proven, scalable and easily adaptable into existing irrigation systems, said Archibald.
"Our CO2 technologies work by transferring CO2 gas into water without bubbles and foliar spraying that non-bubble carbonated water across the entire plant leaf surface. The concentrated dissolved CO2 can then penetrate an entire leaf's surface area naturally like nicotine dissolves through human skin naturally from a soluble nicotine patch," he said.
Foliar spraying of water after it is mixed with nutrients and chemicals on plant leaves has been used for over 60 years by indoor and outdoor growers globally. However, until now, outdoor growers have not had any way to enhance plant CO2 gas uptake for bigger, faster and healthier plant growth.
As for indoor cultivation, the practice of CO2 gassing – pumping entire greenhouses with CO2 to reach about 1300 PPM — also leads to an average 60 per cent CO2 gas loss through ventilation and porosity (OMAFRA Greenhouse Study). Delivered compressed CO2 and hydrocarbon burned CO2 gas is not free.
These greenhouse CO2 gassing levels are also not ideal for worker health and safety. John Archibald said safer targeted CO2 Foliar Spray use indoors and outdoors has minimal dissolved CO2 gas loss once applied on leaf surfaces. The Foliar Spray system supercharges plant leaves by allowing dissolved CO2 to pass into chloroplast cells via direct leaf absorption within 90 seconds of application – the time it takes to fill a gas tank.
Archibald said using CO2 Foliar Spray has also shown dramatic plant resistance against E. coli, Fusarium wilt (common pathogens) and a significant reduction in aphid counts in the one trial for them.
