Abstract
A system and method for directly transferring fermentation carbon dioxide by-product to a greenhouse are disclosed. A three-way valve receives the carbon dioxide by-product from fermentation vessels in a fermentation facility, and either directs the carbon dioxide by-product to a proximately located greenhouse or diverts the carbon dioxide by-product to the external environment based on greenhouse carbon dioxide concentration levels that are monitored by sensors communicatively coupled to the valve. For example, if the concentration levels are below a threshold, the sensors may transmit a signal to the valve to direct the carbon dioxide by-product to the greenhouse; otherwise, if the concentration levels are at or above the threshold, the carbon dioxide by-product may be diverted to the external environment. The threshold may be a carbon dioxide concentration level determined to be optimal for photosynthetic efficiencies based on a number and/or type of the plants contained within the greenhouse.
