Safe, Simple, Scalable and Flexible production of Low Carbon Nitric Acid with just Power, Air and some Water.

Since January 2026, UreaKnowHow.com and N2 Applied (www.n2applied.com) joint forces to actively promote N2 Applied’s plasma‑based nitrogen‑fixation technology as a distributed Low Carbon Nitrate Fertilizer solution.

Mr. Rune Ingels is the father of the N2 Applied Technology. Rune has 30+ years of experience from the fertiliser industry, working for Hydro and Yara in production, in technology strategy and R&D. In 2010, Rune started N2 Applied to Feed the World with Minimum Impact on Planet and People.

Features N2 Applied Nitric Acid Technology

– Safe (no hydrogen, pure oxygen, ammonia, ammonium-nitrate hazards)
– Proven (20+ reactors, 10+ years)
– No scale up risks (parallel plasma reactors)
– Easy scalable following market demand (multiple 0.3MW and/or 1.2MW containers in parallel)
– At larger scales absorber and mixing sections can be combined leading to significant lower CAPEX per ton of Nitric Acid
– High flexibility
* Each plasma reactor can be shut down
* Low turn down ratio
* Each plasma reactor can easily and quickly stop and start
– High on-stream times
– Minimum local construction activities required
– Minimum operational support and maintenance required
– Continuous remote online performance monitoring
– Significant heat recovery (65% of power consumption)
– Significant synergies with Greenhouses / Vertical Farms / Hydroponics
* Low power price
* Reuse of waste heat (65% of power consumption)
* UAN, CAN, CN, NPK+ Fertilizers production on demand
* Desinfection with plasma activated water
– Significant synergies with Green Hydrogen / Ammonia / Urea projects
* Low power price
* Pure oxygen to reduce power consumption
* Reuse of waste heat (65% of power consumption)

Features N2 Applied Nitrate Fertilizers

– Combine Nitric Acid with a NH3/Urea Complex to produce UAN
– Combine Nitric Acid with a Phosphate Complex to produce NP and CN
– Combine Nitric Acid with limestone, wood-ash, crop residue ash, activated carbon, biochar, gypsum, digestate, … to produce multi-nutrient nitrates (NPK+) and upcycle agricultural waste products to critical nutrients reducing purchasing costs.
– These are the preferred fertilizers for Fertigation, Greenhouses, Vertical Farms and hydroponics precision farming realizing highest nutrient use efficiencies minimizing fertilizer and water costs and environmental impact
– Support available from Agronomical and Greenhouse Experts
– Similar nitrate fertilizer products are present on OMRI Organic Products list in North America with significant higher values
