A linear building comprises a series of insulated buildings having a greenhouse as the top storey and a height that varies along a length of the building to minimise gradients of a roadway forming the storey below the greenhouse, wherein the building further comprises ducts and apertures to convey exhaust air and flue gases from the buildings and the roadway into the greenhouse one or more of the buildings houses mechanical equipment for liquefying air and separating the component gases. The building may comprise horticultural compartments for growing crops using artificial lighting and absorption of carbon dioxide separated from the air. Cold food storage comprising a storage tank for liquid air and equipment for vaporising liquid air to drive a turbine to generate electricity are preferably included in the building. Heat recovered from the liquefaction process may be used to maintain optimum growing conditions in the compartments and to provide space and water heating.
