Global recognition for Iranian nanobubble technology: a model of energy-efficient innovation

The CTO and co-founder of Moleaer, the world’s leading nanobubble generator manufacturer, has commended Iran’s application of nanobubble technology as “smart” and aligned with global energy efficiency standards.

Bruce Scholten made the remark in a LinkedIn post. He described Iran’s use of nanobubbles in agriculture and aquaculture as a “practical example of sustainable innovation”.

According to the office Iran’s vice president for science, technology and knowledge-based economy, Scholten highlighted the deployment of nanobubble systems in 150 greenhouses across Iran, resulting in a 15% boost in crop yield.

He called the initiative an intelligent approach to reducing pressure on natural resources without expanding farmland. Scholten also acknowledged Iran’s plan to double its aquaculture production from 500,000 to 1 million tons using oxygen nanobubbles, a move he sees as consistent with international energy efficiency goals.

Known for advocating the integration of science, industry, and environmental sustainability, Scholten stressed two key aspects of Iran’s achievement: the “real-world application” of nanobubbles in addressing challenges such as food security, and the “economic-environmental value” of reducing energy costs and emissions.

As a global expert involved in advanced nanobubble projects for industrial water treatment and precision agriculture, Scholten’s endorsement is seen as highly significant.

His recognition not only validates Iran’s approach but also signals the country’s alignment with cutting-edge international technical standards.

Previously, Scholten had criticized the gap between lab-based innovation and real-world commercialization, which makes his praising of Iran’s achievement all the more notable.
