Skytree Launches Direct Air Capture System for Dutch Greenhouses
Skytree is set to implement its Skytree Stratus direct air capture system at Lingezegen Energy, aiming for an annual CO2 capture of 900 tonnes by 2026, scaling to 7,200 tonnes by 2027. This initiative addresses the critical need for sustainable CO2 sources in Dutch greenhouse agriculture, promoting a decentralized supply chain while supporting climate goals.

Skytree plans to roll out its Skytree Stratus system at Lingezegen Energy, capturing CO2 from the atmosphere for a cluster of greenhouses. The initial capacity will be 900 tonnes per year, increasing to 7,200 tonnes by 2027, supplying 10 greenhouses over 80 hectares.
The project integrates local renewable energy resources, reducing electricity consumption to as low as 0.9 MWh per tonne of CO2 captured. A consortium including Skytree, Lingezegen Energy, and Wageningen University & Research is involved in technology deployment and validation.
This system is positioned to address the scarcity of traditional industrial CO2 sources and aligns with sustainability efforts in the sector. Significant risks remain, as DAC technologies are currently expensive, with costs estimated between $500 and $1,900 per tonne.
