The CSRD directive and environmental reporting will drive a focus on year on year CO2 savings, says Svensson’s Paul Arkesteijn and Emelie Hultberg.

Growers have been acutely conscious of their energy usage since the ongoing conflict in Ukraine flared up into the Battle of Kyiv in February 2022. Energy prices soared.

Some have made use of Svensson’s Energy Monitor plug-in for the Let’s Grow platform to trim the energy costs of their climate screen-equipped greenhouse. But even as energy prices fluctuate, a further imperative has come more squarely into view.

Run a furnace that is fed with natural gas and you generate CO2 and contribute to global heating. Is it time to add a CO2 emissions report to Svensson's Energy Monitor?
