In Frövi, Sweden, the second phase of one of the Nordic region’s most forward-looking greenhouse initiatives is now underway. KUBO Group has broken ground on a new 10-hectare Ultra-Clima greenhouse, to be constructed alongside the existing facility from Phase 1. Both projects form part of the Selected RegEnergy Fund’s portfolio and represent a significant contribution to sustainable, local food production.

In Frövi, Sweden, the second phase of one of the Nordic region’s most forward-looking greenhouse initiatives is now underway. KUBO Group has broken ground on a new 10-hectare Ultra-Clima greenhouse. It will be constructed next to the existing facility from Phase 1. Both projects are part of the Selected RegEnergy Fund’s portfolio and contribute to sustainable, local food production.

Technology and climate in synergy

The new greenhouse is based on KUBO’s Ultra-Clima concept – a technologically advanced, climate-optimised design. It has been third-party verified and holds an official CO₂ footprint certification. Tomatoes grown in this system have a 25.4% lower carbon footprint than those grown in traditional Venlo greenhouses.

Beyond energy efficiency, the greenhouse supports a CO₂ fertilisation strategy. Captured CO₂ is reused in the growing environment. Combined with renewable energy and advanced control systems, this allows for climate-positive tomato production. In other words, the greenhouse removes more CO₂ from the atmosphere than it emits.

Smart Growing: Efficient, data-driven operations

The greenhouse will feature a wide range of advanced systems. These include climate screens, energy-efficient installations, and an integrated control system. Temperature, humidity, and CO₂ levels are monitored and adjusted with high precision.

All operations are supported by KUBO’s Smart | Growing programme. The system allows for automated control, real-time monitoring, and continuous optimisation – both on-site and remotely.

The operational team will also be trained to use the KUBO Blueprint Platform. This is a quality management system aligned with GLOBAL G.A.P. standards. It ensures a structured, professional setup from day one.

Part of the Selected RegEnergy Fund

At Selected Group, we are pleased to support the realisation of Frövi 2 through our green infrastructure fund, Selected RegEnergy. The project is a clear example of our ambition: to combine strong investments with local supply, climate impact, and innovation.

Once both Frövi 1 and Frövi 2 are fully operational, the facilities are expected to supply up to 10% of Sweden’s total tomato consumption. At the same time, they will reduce dependence on imported produc
