Gyeongsangbuk-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services will create a smart farm 4 meters deep underground.

Gyeongsangbuk-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services introduced on the twenty sixth that it signed a enterprise settlement with RIST and Steel Industry on the Pohang Institute of Industrial Science (RIST) on the twenty second to develop and commercialize underground smart farm expertise.

Under the settlement, these organizations will promote the development and demonstration of underground smack farms utilizing the PosMAC waveform metal pipe with the purpose of constructing agricultural manufacturing services which can be impartial of exterior environments and vitality prices.

The underground smart farm will be constructed at a depth of 4m underground to keep up about 15 levels Celsius all year long by drastically decreasing the price of heating and cooling vitality. By December 2027, RIST will make investments 900 million gained to conduct joint analysis and empirical exams.

The underground construction makes use of POSCO’s extremely corrosion-resistant new materials, ‘PosMac’ waveform metal pipe. PosMac maintains long-term structural stability even in underground environments by utilizing round tubes which can be greater than 5 instances extra proof against corrosion than hot-dip galvanized metal sheets and have elevated rigidity by inserting wave (wave-shaped) wrinkles.

For this venture, RIST will oversee the event of underground smart farm normal fashions and environmental prediction simulators because the venture’s organizer, whereas Gyeongsangbuk-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services will set up a expertise guide for rising high-value-added crops equivalent to strawberries and mushrooms optimized for the underground atmosphere. The metal business develops development expertise for underground smart farm services utilizing waveform metal pipes.

The knowledge secured by way of this demonstration venture is deliberate to construct a massive demonstration complicated and create new demand for POSMac sooner or later. It additionally plans to hunt entry into abroad markets with excessive climates such because the desert Middle East, the place the warmth wave continues, and Mongolia within the freezing chilly.

Cho Young-sook, head of the Gyeongsangbuk-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services, stated, “This agreement will be a milestone for future agriculture that combines agricultural technology, new material engineering, and on-site construction capabilities. We will successfully establish an underground smart farm business model to preempt the global smart farm market along with increasing farm income.”
