Nitricity’s Post

Agricultural biomass shows promise in reducing chemical fertilizer use Agricultural biomass residues and food industry byproducts are emerging as viable alternatives to reduce chemical fertilizer usage, paving the way for more sustainable farming practices. This groundbreaking development took center stage at the EIMA International trade show in Bologna, Italy. "Overcoming current barriers to biofertilizer development is crucial," stated Italian partners of the European DELISOIL Project during the meeting.  They emphasized the importance of establishing a supply chain that effectively utilizes waste products and returns nutrients to the soil. This European Commission-funded initiative aims to develop solutions for processing and recycling food industry secondary streams to produce high-quality, safe recycled fertilizers.  The project also supports the EU's "Soil Deal for Europe" mission and "Farm to Fork" strategy for sustainable agriculture. This cutting-edge sustainable technology enables nutrient release through the complete biodegradation of mulch materials.  Initial trials have shown promising results, with biodegradation completed in less than four months and increasing nitrate and phosphorus levels by 60%, significantly reducing the need for chemical fertilizer applications.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has released a Request for Information (RFI) to establish voluntary standards for the production of #biofuel #feedstocks grown with climate-smart farming practices that could lower overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. A greater adoption of climate-smart farming practices could also provide benefits for rural and farm communities, such as improved water quality and soil health. USDA’s RFI is seeking feedback on topics including: ✅Biofuel feedstock crops and practices for consideration in USDA’s analysis. ✅Scientific data, information, and analysis for consideration in quantifying the GHG emissions outcomes of climate-smart agricultural practices and conventional farming practices. ✅Records, documentation, and data necessary to provide sufficient evidence to verify practice adoption and maintenance. ✅Systems used to trace feedstocks throughout the biofuel supply chain. ✅Third-party verification of practice adoption and maintenance. This RFI supports an interagency agreement with U.S. Treasury, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the Environmental Protection Agency to solicit public feedback on future opportunities for including climate-smart biofuel feedstock crops in clean transportation fuel programs. DOE’s Bioenergy Technologies Office recently announced $25.5 million in funding that focused on improving climate-smart agricultural practices that reduce the carbon intensity of biomass feedstocks used for biofuel production. Submit your input by 7/26/24 to help inform options for a robust standard that creates additional market opportunities for U.S. farmers and provides reliable environmental benefits! https://lnkd.in/eYvkSv53

An important piece from AHDB - Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board here, on the status of UK-produced crops being used for biofuel production and their recognition as compliant with the Renewable Energy Directive. This does not just affect wheat grown for bioethanol - it also applies to oilseeds grown in the UK and exported to Europe for biodiesel. https://lnkd.in/eR-e7iB3

The Welsh Government has launched a new Agricultural Diversification and Horticulture Scheme designed to support farmers and land managers in diversifying their agricultural activities. This initiative provides significant opportunities for those interested in sustainable crop production, including biomass crops. The scheme, aimed at supporting a range of activities, offers financial assistance that can help farmers and growers expand or diversify their operations to include biomass as part of an integrated farming approach. The scheme’s funding can cover essential costs such as purchasing equipment, establishing new crops, and improving infrastructure—critical steps for farmers looking to add biomass to their operations. Diversifying with biomass can provide a renewable source of energy, fibre or other bio-based products, while sequestering carbon, contributing to Wales’s net-zero targets, and providing economic resilience.

#sustainability #microalgae #greenhousegasemissions #algae #effluenttreatmentplant #effluenttreatment #carbonemissions #circularity #aquaculture #agriculture #regenerativeagriculture #regenerativeaquaculture Now that we are offer microalgae-based effluent treatment plants, several friends and family members forward me posts from the social media about how microalgae CAN POSSIBLY solve air pollution problems. They end up forwarding articles on small or prototype systems that look beautiful and enticing. We have commissioned and are now operating what are perhaps the largest known, end-to-end, microalgae-based effluent treatment plants for the manufacturing industry. These plants are not only treating their process effluent but are also producing tons of wet, green microalgae biomass everyday! Green microalgae are nature's richest source of proteins, essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, pigments and other important biomolecules including auxins, cytokinins & other growth factors. Commercial trials are already underway at mass-scale for use of the biomass as a Crop Biostimulant for Agriculture, and very soon as a live-feed for Aquaculture. In aquaculture, we are particularly keen to explore the use of our biochemically-rich & live microalgae for production of Zooplanktons! It is believed that adequate availability of naturally-fed, high-quality & low-cost zooplanktons can revolutionize the Aquaculture market! Therefore, there are multiple benefits for the manufacturing industry to explore microalgae-based effluent treatment process technology. These benefits span across process effectiveness, sustainability gains, and highly improved profitability through migration of effluent treatment from a Cost-Center to a Profit-Center! As indicated in slide below, global market size for Agricultural Crop Biostimulant and Aquaculture Feed is $4Billion and $70Billion, respectively. With microalgae-based Crop Bio-stimulant produced via recovery of nutrients & Carbon from effluent/ wastewater streams, the pricing for microalgae-based Bio-stimulant can be several times lower than those for the prevailing market products. And with the Global Agriculture Market size of ~$15Trillion, the potential market for microalgae-based Bio-stimulant can be massive!! Especially, given the peerless positive impact it can have via improved crop productivity-quality, lower pricing, and improved Sustainability-Circularity in Agriculture!

I am excited to share our recent study, "Bioconversion and Performance of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) in Converting Organic Poultry Waste Materials into High-Value Products and Fertilizers," published in Waste and Biomass Valorization. Co-authored with Niranjan B. H, Mahesh S. Yandigeri, Diksha Purushottam Gourkhede, Nadeem Fairoze, Elangovan A. V, and S. B. N Rao, this research explores an innovative approach to managing poultry waste using Black Soldier Fly larvae (BSFL). Key Findings: Effective Waste Reduction: The study demonstrated a substantial material reduction of 52.36% and a high bio-conversion efficiency of 31.84% with a lower feed conversion ratio (FCR) of 1.25. High-Value Byproducts: The process produced pre-pupae biomass with elevated protein content and generated residues with significant manure value and a C/N ratio of 37.5. Microbial Safety: The research also highlighted the clearance of Salmonella load in the residue, ensuring microbial safety. Sustainable Recycling: Poultry waste was converted into commercially valuable products within just 24 days, showcasing a practical and efficient waste management solution. This study provides a promising pathway for transforming poultry waste into valuable resources while promoting sustainability.
