Lightning-based fertilizer tech could support farmers & climate

The Agri-Tech Centres are working with Debye Ltd to trial its system, which simulates lightning’s ability to capture nitrogen in the form of nitrates when it strikes water.

The 18-month feasibility R&D project is taking place on lettuce crops in Agri-Tech Centre CHAP’s vertical farming facility at Stockbridge, with fellow Centre Agri-EPI providing project management and life-cycle analysis, measuring the product’s environmental and economical sustainability at each stage of its development.
