Freshwater production:  The fresh water produced is pure and distilled from seawater, with no need for chemical treatment. 

No fossil-fuel requirements:  Unlike traditional greenhouses, which often rely on gas or other fossil fuels for temperature control and CO2 enrichment, Seawater Greenhouse systems use only seawater and sunlight to control the growing environments, with equal effectiveness.

Pesticide free: Our seawater evaporators have a biocidal and scrubbing effect on the ventilation airflow.  This greatly reduces or eliminates the need for pesticides.

Land:  Our technology enables the development of land normally considered unsuitable for agriculture.

Cost-effective:  Commercial grade crops yields, coupled with significantly lower capital and operating costs result in enhanced operator economics.

Salt and mineral production: Salt gained in the process can be sold and other minerals used as crop nutrients.

Import Substitution and Jobs:  On a country or regional level, there may be advantages linked to import substitution.  Most arid regions of the world are net importers of horticultural produce.  By employing Seawater Greenhouse systems on a large scale these regions could see rises in local green employment as well as reductions in costs by substituting expensive imports with high-quality, locally produced Seawater Greenhouse crops.
