Om arbeidsgiveren

N2 Applied aim to fundamentally improve global Food Production by enabling livestock farmers to recycle nitrogen and produce their own fertilizer with lower greenhouse gas emission, improved resource efficiency and reduced cost.

Millions of tons of ammonia are lost from livestock farms every year. Lost ammonia means lost fertilizer which is essential for growing crops and subsequently feeding the planet. Losing ammonia to the air and nitrogen to the ground is a serious health and environmental issue. The farmer needs to replenish lost nutrients through the purchase of fossil fuel-based nitrogen fertilizer. Today's fertilizer value chain is supporting an unsustainable practice.

N2 Applied is developing a technology to produce nitrogen fertilizer on the farm, through fixing nitrogen from air and reacting it with ammonia in manure. The reaction stops the ammonia losses, increases the nitrogen content and provides the farmer with essential nutrients for growing crops. The farmer will complement and may eventually substitute traditional fossil fuel based industrial fertilizer.

N2 Applied's technology disrupts the fertilizer value chain, changing it from a linear to a circular model.
