AirGaïa designs and manufactures, in France, air treatment systems designed for greenhouse cultivation.
AirGaïa's goal is to facilitate greenhouse cultivation by improving its climate, to help farmers reduce their energy consumption and grow crops without pesticides.
AirGaïa addresses these challenges with its innovative air treatment solutions that use renewable energies and the most efficient components from Climate Engineering.
AirGaïa's values
Growers are the ones who know best about greenhouse cultivation.
They are a constant source for proposals. From the infancy of a project, AirGaïa integrates them into the development cycle.
Nature at the center of our action and humans at the heart of our values.
These are the same qualities that must prevail in our human relations and in our relationship with nature: listening, sincerity, respect, altruism form a breeding ground for man to flourish and for a team to succeed.
AirGaïa's mission
Provide solutions to cultivate sustainably and build a human enterprise.
Greenhouses are a response to the global challenges of providing food for a growing population.
Some examples :
- They protect crops from pests and make pesticide-free cultivation easier.
- The water usage is precisely controled, allowing a saving of 90% of water consumption.
- They protect crops from climatic extremes. The harvest period can be extended thanks to a more stable climate which allows an excellent production yield per m² of cultivated area.
Greenhouses still have progress to make in terms of energy consumption and this is the goal of AIRGAIA. Low-carbon greenhouses are possible!
The practical elements of our contribution:
- The system collects and recycles up to 80% of the volume of watering water contained in the air after evapotranspiration by plants.
- Active dehumidification avoids having to heat and ventilate, thus reducing a significant part of the heating energy
- Active dehumidification makes it possible to migratre from an average 10 MWh of fossil energy to 1 MWh of electrical energy per year per hectare.
- For a tomato greenhouse, the savings are equivalent to the CO2 emissions of 40 revolutions of the earth by car per year per hectare.
