The Polytechnic University of Baja California (UPBC) will develop a technological project aimed at making geothermal heat usable for climate control in greenhouses.
UPBC's rector, Navor Rosas González, pointed out that the State's Secretariat for Agricultural Development (Sefoa) has been looking for such a solution for some time, and that he and a group of UPBC academics held a meeting with Manuel Valladolid Seamanduras, of Sefoa, to iron out the details.
UPBC is committed to lay the foundations, sustained on a technical-financial study, for the large-scale introduction of clean technology, such as geothermal energy, for climate control in greenhouses.
Rosas stresses that promoting productivity in the food chain and reducing energy costs is meant to have an impact on the development of society. The agreement signed between UPBC and Sefoa should also help in promoting academic, scientific and technological partnerships and in facilitating the exchange of knowledge and experiences.
