Product description

NitroChar – Biochar-Enriched Fertilizer is a revolutionary solution developed by Point2Hectare to address the dual challenge of enhancing crop nutrition and reducing environmental impact in agriculture. By combining biochar with urea and nutrient additives, NitroChar effectively controls nitrogen release, minimizing losses through volatilization and leaching. This innovative approach not only improves nitrogen uptake by plants but also leads to increased crop yields and a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions associated with traditional fertilizers.

Laboratory and greenhouse trials, including the grass growth study conducted at Humboldt University, have demonstrated the customizable nutrient release profiles and efficacy of NitroChar across various soil conditions. The fertilizer is designed to provide a sustainable and efficient solution for farmers looking to optimize their agricultural practices while minimizing their environmental footprint.

NitroChar is made available through a licensing model, allowing fertilizer manufacturers to integrate the patented process and produce the granular product at scale. This approach supports scalable climate-smart agriculture by enabling widespread adoption without the need for Point2Hectare to build production facilities. With the growing regulatory momentum in Europe for carbon removal and regenerative soil solutions, NitroChar emerges as a market-ready product that not only aligns profitability with ecological stewardship but also contributes to the transition towards more sustainable agricultural practices.
