closing the loop
from waste, to energy,
to abundant fresh food

Hydroponics is a sustainable economic solution that provides all-year-round horticultural and agricultural products in all environments and climates.

HelioPONIX™, a wholly owned division of Komo Ventures, has created an 'add-on' product to the Helio Planet's Helio Reactor Unit' (HRU). The HRU takes organic waste as input feedstock and produces electricity and other commodities. The electricity is then feed into the helioPONIX™ unit to drive all the hydroponics equipment housed inside the 40 foot shipping container.

The results are a significantly high yield at reduced time frames and with consistent quality. A growing global population and the demands for sustainable food supply is the basis for the transportable 'HelioPONIX™ hydroponic Units' (HHU) that do not rely on pristine soils, non-renewable energy, high amounts of water and chemicals.

The HelioPONIX™ food generation process needs less water, uses no insecticides or herbicides and requires minimal interaction. Internal adjustable propagation shelving, crop-specific wavelength adjustable LED units, temperature probes, cameras and temperature controllers ensure controllable and predictable high yield food production. Once the food (fruit and/or vegetables) is harvested from the 'HelioPONIX™ Hydroponic Units' (HHU) the residual waste is then feed into the nearby 'Helio Reactor Units' (HRU) for further processing and resource recovery.

Local fresh food production for local community consumption means that no additional transportation is required to deliver the food to the consuming market.

This trend of localised urban farming is rapidly embraced as the next technological advancement to ensure high quality and abundant food production. These transportable, indoor 'HelioPONIX™ Hydroponics Units' (HHU) (or vertical farming units) can also be used to grow crops for use in vaccines.

Our prime objectives are to establish abundant, fresh food growing in 'HelioPONIX™ Hydroponics Units' (HHU) on a global basis. Our experience has centred on:
