Toronto based CO2 GRO Inc. ("GROW") (TSXV:GROW) (OTCQB:BLONF) (Frankfurt:4021) is pleased to announce a commercial feasibility of a CO2 Delivery Solutions™ system with South Africa based macadamia nursery grower, Mountainview Nursery ("Mountain View"). This outdoor feasibility project was sourced by GROW's South Africa based Marketing Partner PharmaCrop Pty ("PharmaCrop").
The commercial feasibility will be conducted in a section of Mountain View's macadamia tree seedling nursery utilizing a custom-built support structure for hanging misters and piping. The primary focus of the commercial feasibility is to assess CO2 Delivery Solutions'™ effects on accelerating the growth of macadamia tree seedlings in the nursery.
Mountain View's CFO, Ruan Van Der Westerhuisen stated, "We are excited to start the use of CO2 GRO's technology in partnership with PharmaCrop, which will enable us to enhance root development and produce macadamia trees for transplanting in a shorter time."
PharmaCrop's Principal, Jason Field commented, "South Africa's high value macadamia market is expanding rapidly and is one of the target markets to sell CO2 Delivery Solutions™ systems. Macadamia trees produce high value nuts and are expensive to grow and maintain. Reducing the time to transplant nursery trees to the mature section can dramatically increase the value of a macadamia farm, which can take up to 7 years before realizing returns."
GROW's VP Sales & Strategic Alliances, Aaron Archibald stated "Our recent partnership with PharmaCrop has led to this first open air outdoor commercial feasibility in South Africa. High value crops grown in open air farms are a much larger market than greenhouses that PharmaCrop is pursuing throughout South Africa. A successful commercial feasibility at the Mountain Views facility could open not only a new market in South Africa but also globally".

About CO2 GRO Inc.
GROW's proprietary CO2 Delivery Solutions™ technology is poised to revolutionize the global high value plant greenhouse industry. Its usage provides growers the opportunity to increase revenue by up to 30% and suppress the development of pathogens thereby reducing crop loss risks in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner.
CO2 Delivery Solutions™ dissolves and saturates CO2 gas into water creating a bubble-less aqueous CO2 solution. When the solution is misted onto high value plants it increases revenue to greenhouse growers by up to 30% through a combination of larger plants and shorter crop grow time.
The worldwide markets for GROW's disruptive CO2 Delivery Solutions™ technology are the 50 billion square feet of greenhouses, 85% of which cannot economically or optimally employ CO2 gas to maximize revenue and the 600 billion square feet of open air protected ag, 100% of which cannot employ CO2 gas. GROW's CO2 Delivery Solutions™ technology now enables all greenhouse growers everywhere to maximize revenue easily with low systems capital costs and ease of systems installation into overhead misting systems.
GROW's management is moving quickly to capitalize on this world-wide opportunity by establishing marketing partner relationships internationally. Currently marketing partnerships are in place covering 14 countries with quickly growing interest from multiple other potential partners. In North America, GROW maintains regional sales representatives and support teams. GROW's CO2 Delivery Solutions™ is protected by a suite of patents and patent pending applications.
