The next frontier is not simply making fertilizer differently. It is changing where and when agricultural chemistry is produced.

Synthetic nitrogen fertilizer supports roughly half of the global population. Nearly 78% of the atmosphere is nitrogen, but plants cannot directly use most atmospheric N₂. Industrial agriculture therefore converts atmospheric nitrogen into reactive forms that crops can use.

Nearly all mineral nitrogen fertilizer begins with ammonia. Conventional ammonia production uses the Haber-Bosch process, combining nitrogen from the air with hydrogen under high temperature and pressure. More than 70% of global ammonia production is based on natural gas, and most of the remainder is based on coal.

Ammonia production accounts for roughly 2% of global final energy consumption. • Direct emissions from ammonia production are about 450 million tonnes of CO₂ per year. • Natural gas availability can account for about 70% of nitrogen-fertilizer production costs in gas-dependent markets.

Our Mission: Make Agricultural Chemistry Local
Plasmius Agro is developing a different operating model: air, water, and electricity in — useful agricultural chemistry out, directly where the farm needs it. The goal is to eliminate as much of the chemical supply chain as possible — production elsewhere, transport, inventory, storage, concentrated-chemical handling, and dosing burden — while giving farms greater control over when chemistry is produced.
