A Better Fertilizer
Our journey started with one objective – deliver a superior product at the same price – and then work backward to a cohesive technical vision to produce it.
Breakthrough Methanotroph SCP Plant Protein Fertilizer
Plant protein fertilizers are widely recognized for their superior performance (yields per unit of nitrogen), driven by the physiological effects of amino acids.
Unlike traditional nitrogen fertilizer, they deliver a readily absorbable source of organic nitrogen directly to the crop. Because these amino acids are in a highly bioavailable form, plants rapidly absorb them without wasting metabolic energy. This highly efficient uptake accelerates growth, delivering superior agronomic performance from a zero-emission source.
Similarly, our proprietary methanotroph plant protein fertilizer is comprised of 18 different amino acids, but is comprised of single-cell methanotrophs that metabolize methane to produce nitrogen-rich biomass. However, that is where the similarity ends. Traditional plant protein fertilizers are used sparingly due to high processing, raw material, and energy costs, resulting in nitrogen costs per unit that are up to 10x higher than those of bulk Urea or Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN).
In stark contrast, our methanotroph plant protein bulk nitrogen fertilizer is produced from scratch in specialized aqueous bioreactors at scale, and price parity to both Urea and CAN.
Nutrient Enriched Inorganic Phosphorus
Our proprietary thermochemical process transforms manure solids into a compound comprised of 48% P2O5-equivalent dicalcium phosphate anhydrous (DCPA) and 49% amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) CaO, that are together 70% water-soluble.
This unique solubility split offers dual-action delivery of the soluble fraction, providing an immediate, highly efficient 50% dose to accelerate early plant growth, while the remaining phosphorus and calcium are steadily released over time (3-5 years).
We enrich our soluble phosphorus base with 5% N and 9% K+, both water-soluble, thereby creating a concentrated NPK fertilizer with 70% water-solubility.
To further enhance nitrogen, we blend in a third-party nitrogen-fixing bacteria to enhance the base nitrogen content, resulting in an estimated Urea-equivalent increase of 5% - 6%.
The final result is a 10-24-9 (NPK) and 20% CaO fertilizer that can be blended with varying amounts of our fully-available 10-1-3 (NPK) SCP fertilizer that equals or exceeds the NPK and CaO content of an equivalent amount of CAN and TSP, but is significantly more bioavailable.
Achieving Maximum Agronomic Efficiency
Fertilizer agronomic efficiency is defined by the concentration of each nutrient and the plant's ability to use it. By blending our SCP plant protein fertilizer and enriched phosphorus, we fundamentally shift the AE boundaries significantly upwards.
Blending the two together in equal amounts results in 20-25-12 NPK plus 20% CaO finished product that equals or exceeds the NPK and CaO content of an equivalent amount of CAN and TSP.
More importantly, the nutrient availability (NUE) of our combined fertilizer is an unprecedented 98% (N), 70% (P), and 90% (K).
