Revolutionizing Greenhouse Farming with Electric Heat Pumps

The Japanese company Kyaria, under Carrier Global Corporation, is making waves in the agricultural sector by integrating electric heat pump technology (EHP) in greenhouse farming across Miyazaki Prefecture, Kyushu. This innovative approach not only drastically cuts down on oil consumption but also stabilizes agricultural management and promotes decarbonization efforts.

Addressing Agricultural Challenges

With climate change and rising energy costs presenting significant challenges, greenhouse agriculture requires diligent temperature and humidity control methods, traditionally relying on heavy oil boilers and manual irrigation systems. As costs for materials, labor, and oil continue to soar, farmers have increasingly turned to electric heat pumps as a primary heating solution rather than a secondary one.

In particular, pepper farmers in Miyazaki have upgraded to Kyaria's cold district EHP system, known as the
