Is it possible to produce fertilizers from air without harmful chemicals and without a carbon footprint? Sustainable agriculture demands solutions that maintain crop productivity while preserving the environment. A Swedish company called NitroCapt AB has developed a process that bonds nitrogen from the air, and the SUNIFIX process itself can be powered by renewable energy. This method utilizes nitrogen and oxygen from the air for oxidation and water to produce nitric acid, without the need for natural gas or hydrogen. This approach effectively reduces the carbon footprint by 100%. The resulting nitric acid can be used directly in the chemical industry or converted into nitrate salts for use as fertilizer. Furthermore, nitrate fertilizers can be manufactured in modular factories, contributing to local capacity building. These breakthrough projects, currently in their early stages, have the potential to yield revolutionary results. But when exploring new business models, it is crucial to consider whether it is feasible to produce products that customers will purchase. People are more likely to buy a "green" product not just for its environmental benefits but also if it is better, more affordable, or healthier for them. NitroCapt AB has a clear path to achieve this outstanding goal!

What history teaches us….. In the 19th Century, Europeans discovered that bird droppings, or guano, made an excellent fertilizer. This led to a massive industry dedicated to harvesting guano from Latin American bird colonies. However, transporting it across the world was not exactly pleasant due to its rich ammonia content. Did you know that as demand for fertilizer rose in the early 1900s, German chemist Fritz Haber developed the Haber-Bosch process for synthesizing ammonia? This discovery revolutionized the industry, allowing for the mass production of fertilizer. However, ammonia production currently accounts for nearly 2% of global CO2 emissions. That's why a string of companies aim to prove that they can make green ammonia, or alternatives, without wrecking the climate. It's fascinating to look back and see how history has shaped the agricultural industry we know today. Check out this BBC article to learn more about this incredible story. #history #fertilizer #agriculture #johnleungmcr #lbfalumni #skyhightower

Great example of system improvements that lead to reductions in GHGs while increasing 🔋 energy security. 🌿 The carbon footprint of U.S. soyoil production has dropped by a significant 22% from 2015 to 2021, according to a recent Life Cycle Assessment conducted by Sustainable Solutions Corporation. 🌿 This reduction is credited to improvements in cultivation, harvesting, transportation, and processing stages of soy production, making it a crucial feedstock for biodiesel, renewable diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production in the United States. 🌿 The findings are expected to result in reduced carbon intensity (CI) across the clean fuels industry, contributing to enhanced sustainability efforts. Let's continue the collaborative journey towards a greener future! 🔗 Read more about this remarkable achievement at https://lnkd.in/gcNp64Ah. 💬 Want to learn more and discuss the key points?

📢Do you know that 1 tonne of organic waste can potentially be broken down by between 500-1000kg of black soldier fly larvae on a daily base? Yes, you read it right. 📌When black soldier fly larvae consume organic waste, they convert it into biomass. This process can help divert organic waste from landfills, where it would have produced methane, a potent greenhouse gas. By processing and converting organic waste into larvae biomass, black soldier flies contribute to reducing the overall carbon footprint associated with waste disposal. 📌The broken biomass can then be processed into organic oil, organic fertilizer and feeds for fish/animal production. 📢Do you know that aside from its by-products, the action of these black soldier fly larvae can give you access to carbon finance considering the high volume of potential GH gases you have prevented from being emitted into the atmosphere? Great news, right? 📍The agricultural value chain keeps expanding to accommodate more youths and investors so what are you waiting for? Jump on this goldmine. --------------------- 📢If you are coming across my post for the first time, I'm Inimbom Bassey, the #softlifefarmer.

A Pragmatic Path to Sustainability There are many ways to reduce carbon emissions. At Northern Plains Nitrogen, we believe in the importance of integrating and leveraging low-carbon technologies to provide #cost-effective solutions for farmers. The #crops they grow are the food we #buy. Blue ammonia production utilizes existing technology and energy infrastructure while advancing carbon capture and sequestration (#CCS). This approach results in a more affordable product compared to green ammonia derived from renewable power, helping farmers manage their input costs while still contributing to environmental #sustainability. Moreover, it encourages further developments in low-carbon and CCS technology. Our blue ammonia ensures that sustainability doesn't come at the expense of economic viability for the agricultural community. #BlueAmmonia #LowCarbonFertilizers #EnergyTransformation #NorthernPlainsNitrogen https://lnkd.in/ePruD-w6 *********** At Northern Plains Nitrogen, we believe in stacking complementary low-carbon fertilizer technologies and approaches, ensuring a smoother and more effective transition rather than cutting existing ones.

4moAs a farmer, I'd never do green ammonia. The nitricity technology is safe , produces a product thats easy to store ( storing ammonia is expensive, dangerous to handle ) and easy to handle and apply with existing equipment., and plant available with no loss back to the atmosphere. Green ammonia is a dodo bird already.
