A geothermal greenhouse complex is set to emerge in the Lviv region. The project, a first of its kind in the country, follows a global trend with only a handful in existence worldwide. The 15-hectare greenhouse will focus on cultivating tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and lettuce, addressing the scarcity of greenhouse vegetables due to the temporary occupation of major suppliers in the Kherson and Zaporizhia regions.
With a workforce of 180 people, the €70 million project aims to be the second-largest greenhouse complex in Ukraine. The strategic using of geothermal resources ensures independence from traditional gas supplies, translating to an annual gas savings of 8 million cubic meters. This efficiency enables the production of vegetables at affordable prices.
Triosan Holding Ukraine spearheads the project, with support from the Lviv Regional State Administration and Lviv Regional Council, as evidenced by a recently signed Memorandum of Cooperation. Construction is scheduled to commence next year, with the first phase operational by 2025.
Triosan Holding Ukraine, having secured a contract with an American financial company, is poised to cover the project's expenses. This initiative promises to revolutionize Ukraine's vegetable market while embracing sustainable and innovative practices.
