Agriculture & Dairy

Integrated cooling, heat recovery, and on-farm feed production to protect margins

Karnot delivers end-to-end low-carbon systems for farms, dairies, and agri-processors — combining cooling, heat recovery, and Hydrogreen vertical fodder production into a single energy-optimised platform.

From dairy farms to poultry, fruit, and post-harvest handling, Karnot systems stabilise temperatures where it matters most. Our natural-refrigerant solutions reduce spoilage, improve animal welfare, and cut diesel and LPG use — often paying back in under 2-3 years.

Hydrogreen Vertical Fodder Systems

Fresh, high-nutrition feed grown on-site in 6-7 days

Hydrogreen systems produce fresh, digestible fodder for cattle, dairy, poultry, goats, and pigs, improving feed conversion and reducing reliance on imported or volatile feed inputs. When paired with Karnot heat recovery, the system becomes energy-neutral or energy-positive.

Feed Conversion1 kg seed produces 6-8 kg fresh fodder
Water SavingsUp to 95% less than field-grown
Harvest CycleConsistent daily output, year-round
Loss ReductionNo transport, storage, or spoilage

Why Karnot + Hydrogreen Works

This is not just fodder — it is a closed-loop farm energy system.

Heat Pump Waste Heat Used For:
  • Fodder room climate control
  • Wash-down & sanitation water

Cooling Supports:
  • Milk chilling
  • Meat and produce storage
  • Feed preservation
Result:
Lower feed cost per kg Reduced diesel & LPG Improved animal health Faster ROI
Reduced Post-Harvest Losses
Stable cooling protects yield and quality
Lower Operating Costs
Cut fuel and electricity bills significantly
Heat Recovery
Free hot water for cleaning & sanitation
Farm-Grade Durability
