New hydroponic unit helps deliver sustainability at Aberdeen Airport

The ESS Northern Lights Lounge at Aberdeen International Airport has introduced a new hydroponic pod to grow micro cress and greens for its menu. Opened in 2017 as part of the £20 million terminal transformation project, the lounge is continually seeking new ways to introduce healthy, sustainable ingredients for customers. 

The hydroponic unit, called a Kube, allows the lounge to grow a range of products that its chefs can use to enhance the flavor, aroma, and presentation of dishes. Recipes specifically designed using the Kube will be offered as part of the menu. The units are remotely managed by Bloomkubes as part of a partnership with ESS Energy. Bloomkubes is a modern agritech company that has developed a range of self-contained farm to fork hydroponic units using a system of soilless plant cultivation that delivers water, nutrients, and oxygen to the roots of plants in precise cycles.
