Total investment
The current food system is broken. It accounts for 1/3 of green house gas emissions and requires massive amounts of water and land.
Regenergy Frövi solves part of this puzzle by using waste heat, renewable electricity and, shortening the distance from production to plate. This way, Regenergy Frövi contributes to increased self- sufficiency, less transports and new jobs.
Impact
In less then a year, about every tenth tomato in Sweden will be produced in Frövi.
Operations
Locally produced tomatoes made using industrial waste heat
Regenergy Frövi uses industrial waste heat from a paper mill, and renewable electricity to produce vegetables in greenhouses. It will deliver sustainable vegetables, increased circularity and hundreds of local jobs. The first of two greenhouses is 100 000m2 big and will produce 8000 tonnes of tomatoes every year. Production start 2024.
