Through extensive modeling, testing and experimentation, an integration of proprietary technologies have been developed.   The concept was first researched in 1991 and developed by Light Works Ltd in the United Kingdom.  The initial pilot research project commenced in 1992 on the Canary Island of Tenerife, and the positive results confirmed its viability and the potential for other arid regions. 

Since the Tenerife greenhouse, two further research centres were established in order to test the technology in more extreme climates, increase water production rates, research crop yields and improve climate control. The second Seawater Greenhouse was constructed on Al-Aryam Island, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates in 2000 and the third system and joint research facility was completed in 2004 near Muscat, Oman in collaboration with Sultan Qaboos University.

The work we have undertaken has contributed to our role as specialists in restorative and profitable horticulture systems for arid region; as well as in designing, manufacturing, growing and operating Seawater Greenhouses. We want to build on and share these skills.
