Why ammonium-free liquid calcium nitrate matters in hydroponic growing systems
Hydroponic growing systems are becoming increasingly important in fruit, vegetable and ornamental production. In these systems, plants grow without soil, using substrate or water instead. This allows…
From Air to Nitric Acid: Electrifying Nitrate Production
For more than a century, nitric acid has been an important building block for agriculture and industry. It sits at the heart of nitrate fertiliser production and is also used in several industrial…
Untying fertiliser from fossil fuels: electricity as a strategic resource
Modern agriculture rests on one of the greatest industrial achievements. The Haber-Bosch process transformed humanity's ability to feed itself, and today nearly half of the world's food production…
From Air to Calcium Nitrate: Electrifying Fertiliser Production
Reliable fertiliser supply chains are becoming increasingly important. Traditional nitrate fertilisers are often produced in large, centralised facilities and transported across long distances before…
Plasma-based nitrogen fixation explained
For more than a century, the world has relied on the Haber-Bosch and Ostwald processes to produce nitrogen fertilisers . Now there is a sustainable alternative: plasma-based nitrogen fixation. Using…
The challenges of conventional fossil-based fertiliser production
For more than a century, the world has relied on the Haber-Bosch and Ostwald processes to produce nitrogen fertilisers. Together, they form the industrial backbone of modern agriculture: first…
Reinventing a Norwegian Breakthrough: Electrified Fertiliser Production for the 21st Century
Norway pioneered the first large-scale industrial production of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser in the early 1900s through the Birkeland–Eyde process. In a picturesque landscape of mountains,…
