Prototype device produces critical fertilizer ingredient from thin air, cutting carbon emissions.

Onsite ammonia synthesis (a main fertilizer ingredient) using wind energy to draw air through a mesh, could eliminate the 100 year old process using NatGas and electricity to produce ammonia, now, for fertilizer production.

This NPR article explains the potential to capture Methane in US Landfills.

This is the Best short term solution to climate change - Methane mitigation. “Reducing Methane could almost immediately curb climate change”. Since CH4 is 80 times worse than CO2, my personal calculation is that CH4’s effects are equal to all the CO2 effects on our atmosphere. Go after methane, curb climate change.
