Key Takeaways
- Bion Environmental Technologies has produced and distributed samples of its organic nitrogen fertilizers to several U.S. fertilizer manufacturers and distributors.
- The fertilizers, including Bion AB10 (10-0-0) and a new 7-0-0 product, are high-value, low-carbon, pathogen-free, and suitable for organic farming applications.
- The 7-0-0 product is being prepared for registration under the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) organic program.
- Bion’s fertilizers are derived from captured ammonia, a byproduct of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) production from organic waste, preventing harmful emissions and upcycling nitrogen into usable plant nutrients.
- The company’s Ammonia Recovery System (ARS) captures over 90% of ammonia, reducing air and water pollution while creating high-value organic fertilizers.
Advancing Organic Fertilizer Solutions
First Commercial Samples Sent to Industry Leaders
Bion Environmental Technologies, Inc. (OTC QB: BNET) has produced and shipped samples of its organic nitrogen fertilizers to several fertilizer manufacturers and distributors across the U.S. The company’s Bion AB10 (10-0-0) fertilizer, which is OMRI Listed for organic use, has been requested by major players in both the specialty and row crop markets.
Additionally, Bion has developed a 7-0-0 nitrogen fertilizer tailored for western U.S. agricultural markets and is currently preparing an application for registration under the California Department of Food and Agriculture’s (CDFA) organic program.
Capturing Ammonia to Create Sustainable Fertilizers
Upcycling Waste into High-Value Agricultural Inputs
Bion’s organic fertilizers are produced from ammonia captured during the Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) production process. Typically, ammonia from animal manure, food waste, and wastewater escapes into the environment, contributing to air and water pollution. However, Bion’s Ammonia Recovery System (ARS) captures over 90% of this ammonia, preventing it from causing groundwater contamination, toxic algae blooms, and small particulate air pollution (PM2.5).
Using Bion’s patented process, the recovered ammonia is combined with CO₂ from the waste stream to produce ammonium bicarbonate, a stabilized and readily available nitrogen source. This precision-applied fertilizer reduces nitrogen loss and improves nutrient efficiency for organic farming.
Scaling Circular and Sustainable Agriculture
Commercialization and Industry Impact
The successful production and shipment of Bion’s first fertilizer samples mark a major step toward commercialization, following over a decade of research and development. The company is working with fertilizer industry leaders to explore opportunities for large-scale adoption of its low-carbon, organic fertilizers.
“These samples represent more than a decade of R&D and the dedication of both the Bion team and our shareholders,” said Craig Scott, CEO of Bion Environmental Technologies. “There is a growing demand for circular and sustainable solutions that improve resource efficiencies and lessen environmental impacts. As we commercialize our technology, we look forward to providing meaningful economic and environmental solutions to livestock, food, and renewable fuels producers, and better food and fuels to the consumer.”
