CEE Lab has been Awarded Aggie Climate Action for Equity (ACE) Grants to Lead Innovations for Climate Change Solutions

Greenhouse crop production has attracted more people recently as a climate-smart solution for growing year-round. In this project, Assistant Professor Md Shamim Ahamed from the Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering and the team will investigate the proof-of-concept for designing a novel climate-smart PV screen for greenhouse integration to replace conventional shade screens. The proposed project will analyze the synergies with climate-smart PV screens to reduce energy and water demand and maximize power conversion efficiency without impacting yield.

CEE lab has received UC Davis and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Scientists Collaborative Grant on Agricultural Decarbonization

Our project focuses on agricultural decarbonization through smart PV integration in greenhouses. I can't wait to explore how we can reduce the carbon footprint of greenhouse crop production. I will collaborate with @Yi Liu from Berkeley Lab and other collaborators for this project.
