About CO2 GRO Inc.

CO2 GRO Inc. is a People,Planet, and Prosperity-focused precision ag-tech, clean-tech company.

We are on a mission to transform 700 billion sq. ft. of protected fruit & vegetable growth facilities so they can increase yield by up to 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.
