When built in 2016, Biotronen in Alnarp was the largest plant research facility in Sweden. The facility spans almost 1,100 square meters of research space and consists of 24 climatic chambers that allow researchers to recreate all climates: past, present, and future. The facility is open to researchers from all over the world and has become a hub for cutting-edge plant research.
The chambers can maintain temperatures ranging from -5°C to +45°C with controlled relative humidity (rH) up to 95%, and CO2 up to 3000 ppm. This enables researchers to simulate a wide range of climate conditions, including those in extreme environments, and study the plant response.
The project was led by Cromocol with Elektrokyl Energiteknik providing installation and service support for the facility.
