Pollination Bee Innovative Read more Bee Innovative is unlocking global agriculture by maximising pollination. We have developed ‘BeeDar’, a radar-like sensor for bees that identifies tracks and reports bee pollination activity in near real time. This product revolutionises production. Producers can now identify areas of good pollination activity and more importantly poor pollination activity. This critical information allows producers to recapture lost productivity, increasing crop yield, quality and value. BeeDarTM sensors are mounted on drones so they can track and report bee pollination activity on the scale of your crop.

Reducing food waster Hot Lime Labs Read more Our technology uses a proprietary material called Hot Lime which acts as a CO2 sponge, separating clean CO2 from combustion gas impurities. When coupled with a wood boiler/gasifier it allows us to produce heat and clean CO2 for use in a glasshouse. Our initial focus is on wood waste feedstock but the system can work with any type of organic waste like agricultural residues. Our proprietary Hot Lime material provides a very high CO2 capacity, allowing Hot Lime systems to be compact, simple to build and easy to operate. The Hot Lime system enables us to produce clean CO2 from different feedstocks at a cost nearly half that of current sources and developing technologies – giving growers greater choice.
