Horticulture & Agriculture

Heating costs for greenhouses is one of the most important cost factors for undergrowing horticulture. With rising energy prices, the question arises as to how they can continue to operate profitably. To achieve this, energy must be saved, energy efficiency must be increased and expensive energy carriers replaced by cheaper ones.

An alternative to fossil fuels is the use of a high-quality Nolting firing system with the fuel wood pellets or wood chips.

Ecological Benefits:

Use of natural resources – wood residues from your own production (e.g. from orchard maintenance, pruning waste, or discarded pallets and packaging) can be used for energy generation
CO₂-neutral energy production – biomass combustion reduces the carbon footprint and actively protects the climate
Reduction of fossil fuel use – minimizes the consumption of oil, gas, or electricity through sustainable self-supply
Sustainable circular economy – residual materials are used efficiently instead of being disposed of – ecological and effective

Economic Benefifts:

Cost savings through in-house fuels – no disposal costs for wood residues and no need for expensive external fuels
Heating of greenhouses, barns, and operational buildings – cost-effective heat exactly where it is needed
Rapid return on investment – investments pay off within a few years due to low operating costs
Efficient use of heat surplus – excess energy can be fed into local heating networks or used for nearby residential buildings
Eligible for subsidies – in many cases, agricultural operations benefit from attractive government support programs

Technical & Comfort Advantages:

Robust technology for continuous operation – ideal for agricultural use: durable, low-maintenance, and high-performing
Automated operation – convenient control with minimal personnel effort, even with seasonally fluctuating demand
Flexible heat usage:
- Heating of greenhouses and polytunnels
- Underfloor heating for early crops
- Drying of grain, hay, or wood
- Hot water generation for livestock or cleaning
Modular expansion – systems can be flexibly adapted to growing demands, e.g. in case of farm expansion
“Made in Germany” – Quality and service – high manufacturing depth, customized planning, and reliable customer support

Those who use biomass on site reduce costs, increase independence, and invest in a climate-friendly future. Nolting provides the right technology for this – efficient, durable, and perfectly tailored to the needs of the green sector.
