On the sustainable greenhouse area Terneuzen, entrepreneurs are working with waste heat and waste CO2 from nearby fertilizer plant Yara. To make the area profitable, greenhouse acreage will have to expand even further. Currently there are three greenhouse companies located in the area: two Dutch ones and a Flemish one.
