CO2 GRO Patent Strategy

Highest Value Indoor & Outdoor - Buds

A 1M sq ft bud grow area greenhouse can grow 5.5 crops/yr at up to $100M/crop. Our CO2

bud grow trials are showing one extra crop/yr can be grown with larger bud volumes/crop.

Outdoor bud crops limited to one crop/yr by Nature. Target to grow buds bigger.


Best Outdoor Value Areas and Crops

Best outdoor CO2 foliar spray plant yield and water retention value in NA -arid California,

Arizona, Southern BC & Southern Alberta

Best crops for CO2 foliar spraying- cannabis, lettuce, tobacco, spinach, potatoes, sugar beets


Urban Ag – Grow Containers

Urban ag market is growing at 5%+ per year and can be used for bud growth

Significant arising IP and licensing opportunities to be shared with partners like Growcer

Dissolved CO2 Saves Big $$

At 1300 ppm, 60% of CO2 gassing is lost

(OMAFRA CO2 gassing study)

Dissolved CO2 at 1300 ppm stays in water

with little off-gassing

1500 tonnes of CO2 gassing costs $200K-$400K/y, 60% CO2 gassing losses $120k - $240k/y

CO2 foliar spray yields 15-20% more than CO2 gassing, saves $100k-

$200K/yr in CO2 use and is safer for greenhouse workers

CO2 Foliar Spray VS Greenhouse CO2 Gassing

A 500,000 sq ft greenhouse uses 1500 tonnes of CO2/yr for avg. 33% added plant growth
