The production of nitrogen fertilizer accounts for close to 2 % of the global greenhouse emissions. NitroCapt AB is currently developing a fossil-free process, SUNIFIX® (Sustainable Nitrogen Fixation) for the fixation of nitrogen from the air for the production of nitrogen fertilizer. The unique process and the reactor that are being developed in collaboration with world-leading researchers at four European universities are both patent pending. Proof of Concept is achieved for all individual parts of the process but the process has never been physically tested and optimized as a whole. Production cost for fertilizer is similar to the current fossil-based processes, but the process is profitable already at a much smaller scale. This makes it possible to implement a production closer to the end-users and to make the local fertilizer distributors become the new fertilizer producers. In addition, the production plants can be powered by locally generated renewable electricity even without an electric grid. This gives the possibility to remove a number of steps in the supply chain, to radically reduce transport needs and to concentrate the margins to local businesses in connection with the farmers. Collaborations have been established with Lantmännen and similar companies in Europe show a great interest as SUNIFIX can allow their margins to increase while solving a great challenge for society.
