What is the global ammonia market and its growth?

Soil expert from Bogor University of Agriculture (IPB), Dr. Ir. Basuki Sumawinata, M.Agr, explained that methane capture and land application have different roles and functions. Methane capture aims to capture methane gas produced from the decomposition process of liquid waste, while LA refers to the use of liquid waste to increase soil fertility. “For LA application, the BOD of waste must be below 5,000 mg/L. If waste is discharged into waters, the BOD standard is stricter, which is below 100 mg/L,” said Dr. Basuki. Although methane capture has advantages as an energy producer, Eddy hopes that this technology will not be mandatory for factories that want to utilize liquid waste for LA. “Methane capture is suitable for energy production, but its application should be adjusted to the needs of each factory,” he added. At BARformula, we prioritise the usage of both POME and EFB for the production of nutrient rich compost/biofertilisers, to meet the rising costs of palm nutrition and waste management.

🌟 Update from Carbon Research journal: Exploring the power of hydrochars for sustainable agriculture! 🌱 Recent studies on hydrochars derived from sewage sludge (SS) and chicken manure (CM) show promising results in boosting crop growth and enhancing soil phosphorus (P) availability, offering a greener alternative to traditional fertilizers. Produced at different temperatures, these hydrochars vary in their nutrient content and physical properties, with SS-derived hydrochars notably higher in P and N content, aiding significantly in corn growth with increases in biomass up to 92.4%. Conversely, CM-derived hydrochars excel in promoting soybean growth, improving dry biomass by up to 66.2%. 🌽🌱 Moreover, these hydrochars, particularly those produced at lower temperatures, prove to be effective slow-release P fertilizers, increasing soil and plant P levels while mitigating the leaching risks associated with conventional phosphorus fertilizers like triple super phosphate (TSP). This not only supports healthier crop yields but also promotes more sustainable agricultural practices by reducing environmental impacts. 🔗 Feel free to check more via this link:

What if agri-waste could purify water & boost crops? New tech turns date palm fronds into high - tech biochar. It recovers phosphorus from wastewater. This Mg/Al - modified biochar (Mg/Al - DPF - B) has enhanced structure & chemistry from loaded nanoparticles. Column experiments showed higher biochar mass meant greater P - adsorption. Scaled up, it can treat 116 m³ of wastewater daily, recovering >0.5 kg of P. Next, it may be turned into slow - release fertilizer. This breakthrough has dual benefits for waste management & resource recovery. However, while promising, it has issues. Precise conditions for wastewater treatment may not work across all systems. And the long - term performance as a fertilizer, especially regarding heavy metal leaching, needs more testing.

New Report on Fertilizer Industry Sustainability The Fertilizer Institute released new data highlighting industry improvement in sustainability performance of workforce safety, energy and the environment, fertilizer use, and industry innovation. TFI has collected data since 2013 on metrics that provide insight into the industry’s sustainability efforts. The data announced was gathered in 2023 and reflects industry operations in 2022. Participating members reported a total of 25 zero-discharge facilities, at which all wastewater is recycled. Farmers in the U.S. have a nitrogen use efficiency of 70%, which is much higher than the world average of 55%. The 2023 4R Advocates had an average of 100% nitrogen use efficiency. TFI President and CEO Corey Rosenbusch says, “Each step of the supply chain is focused on doing more with fewer resources while limiting impacts on communities and the environment.” The data includes metrics on segments of the fertilizer industry, including fertilizer use on farms, worker safety, energy and environment, and industry innovation. #agriculture

Feeding Life 2030 vision aims to find solutions that answer the question of how to continue feeding a growing population while doing so in a more energy and environmentally efficient way.           The deployment of more knowledge per hectare, promotion of circular economy and the use of ammonia as a carbon free energy carrier are what our industry sees as key solutions. The European fertilizer industry is at the crossroads between nutrition and energy. With an appropriate support from policy-makers the industry can play a vital role in providing solutions to European society’s most pressing challenges. https://lnkd.in/erqAcyTe

Nitricity profile: What if you could replace synthetic nitrogen fertilizers with one of nature’s miracles? Coming soon. Nitricity is a startup that’s scaling up the ability to fertilize crops and feed billions of people. Using air, water, and renewable electricity. Yup, like you get from lightning. 1% of the nitrogen that fertilizes crops comes from lightning. And that’s not nearly enough – or predictable enough - to feed 8 billion of us and the generations to come. We’ve been depending on synthetic nitrogen fertilizers that are harmful to our environmental and human health. The overuse of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture leads to higher emissions of nitrous oxide, a gas that is 300 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. Synthetic nitrogen has also caused water pollution at both surface and ground levels. It can lead to serious health issues for farmers, their families, and the rest of us humans. Nitricity’s technology makes green nitric acid and neutralizes it with minerals that yield (a nice farming term) calcium or potassium nitrate fertilizers. No ammonia from fossil fuels required. It’s produced on site, in the field, too. Eliminating shipping from out of state (Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas where most ammonium nitrate comes from). Let’s bring this down to something you can see and taste. Order a Chipotle salad or a burrito in California’s Central Valley. You might just be eating lettuce, corn, and veggies that were cultivated with Nitricity’s fertilizer. True to their commitment to the health of our people and planet, Chipotle just invested in Nitricity field testing. So, hang on. Healthier, more climate-friendly food is coming to a plate near you. From the brilliant thinkers and innovators who are fighting for our lives.  #SustainableAgriculture   #AgTech  #SystemsChange
