TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / June 28, 2022 / Toronto based CO2 GRO Inc. ("GROW" or the "Company") (TSXV:GROW)(OTCQB:BLONF)(Frankfurt:4021) is pleased to announce a second CO2 Delivery Solutions™ Commercial Technology Purchase ("Sale") by Hidroexpo S.A. de C.V. ("Hidroexpo") in El Salvador.
CO2 Delivery Solutions™ will be installed in the second of Hidroexpo's thirty-six similar one-hectare greenhouses (3,852,000 square feet total) that all grow bell peppers mainly for export. The first Sale to Hidroexpo (announced on November 6, 2021) was after a successful one-year Technology Trial ("Trial") that demonstrated nearly 20% more pepper production using CO2 Delivery Solutions™ versus peppers grown in ambient conditions. Hidroexpo's second grow season Trial has now been completed with over 30% more pepper production under the same conditions.
For competitive reasons, Hidroexpo stipulated that the terms of the second Sale (similar to the first Sale) including the purchase price and payment plan terms remain confidential.
Rodrigo Martinez, General Manager of Hidroexpo commented, "We are very happy with the 20% and 30% yield improvements using CO2 Delivery Solutions™ over our past two growing seasons. Purchasing the technology again for a second greenhouse was an easy decision. Over time, we hope to install the technology in more of our greenhouses. We believe that CO2 Delivery Solutions™ can transform our business profitability and provide us a competitive edge in the Central America pepper production market."
CO2 GRO's VP Sales & Strategic Alliances, Aaron Archibald commented, "This is our first repeat Sale to a major international greenhouse vegetable grower. We look forward to helping Hidroexpo transform their business profitability and market position. Hidroexpo's two-year yield improvement data further validates our technology's benefits to other greenhouses globally that are currently conducting Trials or are interested in Trials.
Many of these Trials are due to be completed by late 2022 with similar yield results expected to those seen at Hidroexpo's pepper greenhouse. Upon completion of these Trials, we anticipate Sales for at least a portion of these growers' facilities.
Our sales pipeline of over 200 million square feet of protected grower area is a large revenue opportunity for us but tiny to date relative to the 600 billion square feet of protected vegetable facilities globally. If all protected vegetable growers installed our technology, it could lead to 100 million MT per year of additional food production, enough to meet the recommended annual fruit and vegetable needs for up to 500 million people."

CO2 GRO Inc. is a People, Planet, and Prosperity-focused precision ag-tech, clean-tech company.
We are on a mission to transform 600-billion sq. ft. of protected fruit & vegetable growth facilities so they can increase yield by 30% and feed half a billion more people around the world.
Our proprietary technology mists an aqueous CO2 solution directly onto plants in protected growth facilities. This enriches crops with CO2 , suppresses the growth of micro-pathogens, and increases high-yield, high-quality varieties of produce. Because our CO2 Delivery Solutions™ technology replaces atmospheric gassing, growers can lower their CO2 gas consumption by over 90%, reduce their ecological footprint, and lower production costs.
We support the protected food crop community in all seven continents and also work with floriculturists and growers of medicinal & non-food varieties of plants.

SunPower slid on Wednesday after shares of the solar panel company were initiated at Underweight by a Wells Fargo analyst who cited unsupportive U.S. solar policies and a slowing housing market. Michael Blum from Wells Fargo wrote in a research note that the slowing housing market was “likely to affect new solar sales.” “SunPower’s business is mostly direct sales, which we view as more sensitive to the economic environment given the large upfront cost of purchasing a solar rooftop system,” Blum said.
