In Frövi, Sweden, about 200 km from Stockholm, the results of several years of work will soon sprout. A 100,000 m2 facility is now completed and on the verge of starting its operational phase. The result of this will be the production of 8,000 tons of tomatoes per year. We expect the greenhouse to become operational this month, after which the tomatoes can be planted. Thus, we anticipate that the first tomatoes from Frövi will be found in Swedish supermarkets by late summer.
It has also already been decided in which supermarkets the first tomatoes will be available. Both supermarket chains ICA and Coop will indeed sell the tomatoes from Frövi. Both have stated that this comes from a desire to strengthen food security in Sweden. Read here what ICA and Coop themselves say about the collaboration:
ICA: Satsar på ny tomatanläggning
Coop: Satsning skal ge svenska tomater året rundt
More than 80% of Sweden’s tomatoes currently come from imports. The Selected RegEnergy project in Frövi will change this. The greenhouse will annually produce about 10% of Sweden’s total tomato consumption. The heat for the tomatoes in the greenhouse is waste heat from the nearby paper goods factory, Billerud. Here, the waste heat from the paper goods factory is collected and transported in a 400 km long pipe system around the greenhouse. You can read much more about the construction of the greenhouse here.
The RegEnergy project in Frövi is just the first of a series of projects in the Selected RegEnergy fund. The fund’s other projects will also involve the establishment of greenhouses, where the utilization of waste products from industrial production can be used for sustainable food and biomaterial production.
