Maintaining appropriate CO₂ levels inside the greenhouse is essential to achieving targeted production volumes per square meter. This requirement affects how heating and combustion systems are designed and operated.
When CO₂ is treated as a production factor, the combustion system must deliver more than thermal output. Gas quality, emission levels and operational stability directly influence whether the generated CO₂ can be safely applied within the greenhouse environment.
Vitotherm designs CO₂ solutions as integrated systems. This includes calculating overall CO₂ demand, engineering the distribution network, selecting appropriate ventilation components and implementing detection systems to ensure safe operation.
In addition to traditional boiler-based solutions, projects may incorporate alternative CO₂ sources such as purified streams or liquid storage systems. Regardless of the source, controlled distribution and safety remain central.
By approaching CO₂ as an integral component of greenhouse production rather than a secondary emission, installations can be aligned with both yield objectives and regulatory requirements.
Horticulture has been a solid foundation for us for many years. That remains unchanged. It is a market where installations operate continuously and where daily practice leaves little room for error. You quickly see what works and what doesn’t. That reality keeps you sharp.
In industrial projects there is always a moment where you realize that a standard burner is simply not going to solve the problem. On paper it might look sufficient. The capacity fits, the fuel type is listed, the emission class is acceptable. But once you start looking at the actual process conditions, you see that the reality is different.
At Vitotherm, it’s not just about technology. It’s about people, solutions, and trust. Vincent Stringa understands that better than anyone. As a representative, he is on the road daily, speaking with companies about burner installations, service inquiries, and practical solutions. His work sits at the intersection of technology, advisory, relationship management, and generating new business through cold acquisition.
His role is broad, but one goal remains central: growing the Vitotherm name. Not only within horticulture, but especially beyond it. “I essentially focus on making the Vitotherm name known in the Dutch market. Beyond horticulture, now also in utilities and industry,” Vincent explains. In doing so, he helps the company explore new markets.
