Natural Offset Farming
Natural Offset Farming (NOF) is an Israeli start-up developing advanced cooling technology and focusing on the field of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) utilization and decarbonization.
The company developed a sustainable system that utilizes liquid C02 and provides a ‘cooling-as-service’ value model, especially in the field of precision agriculture. Today, NOF primarily focuses on Root Zone Cooling (Chilling Hours), Post-Harvest Cooling (Pre-Cooling), and Surface Cooling.
The company has participated in a TechEmerge pilot which is described below. More data on the pilot experience is available from the report "TechEmerge Sustainable Cooling Innovation Program: Results and Lessons Learned.

NOFcooling
NOFcooling is a patented cooling system that utilizes CO2 in its liquid state to produce cooling energy, providing a unique and energy-efficient way to cool any medium in precision agriculture (Air, Water, Surface, etc.).
The advantage of the system is its size (250mm X 100mm), portability, and the fact that it does not rely on electricity for operation.
