Rimaco Greens Inc., a Canadian ag tech innovator, announced the launch of its 100% sealed, pressurized greenhouse system. The first of its kind, this patent-pending solution maintains a completely isolated growing environment using minimal energy for lighting, temperature, and humidity control.

Developed over seven years of self-funded research, the Rimaco Greens system maintains optimal growing conditions year-round, entirely independent of outdoor weather. The technology combines advanced engineering with precision agriculture to:

  • Substantially reduce energy demand and water consumption
  • Eliminate pest risks through a permanently sealed environment
  • Enable year-round, high-quality crop production
  • Adapt to any greenhouse size or type.

The pressurized, sealed greenhouse maximizes the direct use of the sun’s light and energy while fully isolating the growing environment from outdoor conditions. At the heart of this innovation is Rimaco Greens’ energy-efficient heating and cooling system, which delivers precise climate control with minimal environmental impact.

“We’ve applied advanced energy optimization techniques from the oil industry to farming,” explains Ricardo Solano, CTO and co-founder of Rimaco Greens Inc. “Our system doesn’t use traditional air conditioning or air exchanges. Instead, it controls temperature and humidity using thermal energy storage at scale with tightly integrated flows of air and water.”

The company’s Energy Innovation Center, located in Alberta, Canada, houses the pilot facility — now in the final stages of completion — which will serve as the world’s first pressurized greenhouse demonstration site.
