Abstract: This paper proposes an innovative CO 2 enrichment system for crop production under a controlled greenhouse environment by means of tetra- n -butylammonium bromide (TBAB) + CO 2 semi-clathrate hydrate (SC). In this system, CO 2 is captured directly from exhaust gas from a combustion heater at night, which can be used for stimulating photosynthesis of crops in greenhouses during daytime. Although the gas capacity of TBAB + CO 2 SC is less than that of CO 2 gas hydrate, it is shown that TBAB + CO 2 SC can store CO 2 for CO 2 enrichment in crop production even under moderate pressure conditions (<1.0 MPa) at 283 K.
