"Green Energy, Red Tomatoes, and 7 Years of Proven Efficiency" – this is not just a slogan; it is the reality that eng. Nikola Spassov (MD of Geothron engineering) has established in Bulgaria.
Recently, the Dutch agricultural sector officially recognized our country as a hub for geothermal potential. During an expert mission, Mrs. Sophie Neve (Agricultural Counsellor at the Ministry of Agriculture of the Netherlands) highlighted that the symbiosis between geothermal energy and greenhouse production is the winning formula for the sector.
The Reality in Numbers: 10% vs. 60% The report by the Dutch experts emphasized a fact we have been proving in practice for years:
- While conventional greenhouses spend 60-70% of their budget on energy (gas, electricity);
- Geothermal solutions slash this cost to just 10%.
The Dolna Dikanya Greenhouse: Ahead of Its Time
Time This operational model is not just a future plan. It has been successfully running in Dolna Dikanya since 2018. Designed and executed by eng. Nikola Spassov, this project was years ahead of the current "Green Deal" trends.
The result is visible: sustainable heating that allows for red tomato production even during the coldest winter months, and a business that remains profitable despite peak energy prices across Europe.
We are proud that international experts of such high standing appreciate the resource we have right under our feet. For Geothron engineering, this is not just potential—it is a standard we deliver today.
