This is Soil Steam
Making a global impact on soil preservation and loss of nature.
At Soil Steam, we are working toward a world where soil and growth media can be reused safely, efficiently, and sustainably. Our vision is to replace chemicals and destructive treatment methods with gentle thermal steaming—contributing to circular value chains in soil, waste, and food production.
Our core values
- Innovation – combining practical experience with scientific research
- Sustainability – solving problems without creating new ones
- Collaboration – developing solutions together with our customers

Soil Steam began as a field trial on a farm in Vestfold, Norway. Today, we are a technology company with international reach. Our technology is developed in Norway, tested through EU-funded projects, and protected by global patents. With hands-on experience in construction, greenhouse production, and research environments, we design solutions in close dialogue with end users.

Our interdisciplinary team includes engineers, agronomists, researchers, and technical specialists. We collaborate with organizations such as NIBIO, NMBU, BAMA, Skagerak Mat, and several EU projects to continuously improve our technology.
