Proven technology

The technology to produce nitrogen fertilizer using renewable energy is proven and available. However, green nitrogen fertilizer has been limited by high energy costs and suboptimal performance when combining various processes together. Atlas Agro has developed IP for the combination of technologies we’re adapting to use renewable energy instead fossil fuels. The resulting nitrogen fertilizer is carbon-neutral, effective for farming, and – at scale – can compete with fossil fuel-based production costs.

There are many ways to produce hydrogen. Green hydrogen made through the electrolysis of water using renewable energy removes the carbon emissions in the fertilizer making process. Other forms of hydrogen production use coal or gas as feedstock, including blue hydrogen. While blue hydrogen can be a more sustainable alternative to grey hydrogen, capturing parts of the emitted carbon dioxide to store underground, the current technology still allows for carbon emissions and does not address fugitive methane or the emissions in production and transportation of the fossil fuels used in the process.

Atlas Agro will produce green hydrogen using water and renewable energy sources to ensure our production process results in zero carbon emissions.
