SubsidieMeestersGreen valorization of CO2 and Nitrogen compounds for making fertilizers
The CONFETI project aims to develop a sustainable technology for converting CO2 and N2 into urea fertilizer using renewable energy, promoting a circular economy in agriculture.
Projectdetails
Introduction
The CONFETI project proposes the development of a lab-scale validated innovative technology that is able to utilize and electrochemically convert CO2 and N2 directly from air or flue gases without the use of critical raw materials and using renewable energy sources.
Objectives
By the production of urea from N (N2 and/or NO3-) and CO2, the project aims to ensure a circular and renewable carbon and nitrogen economy by:
- Recycling and converting the NO3- not consumed by the plant into ammonia or urea.
- Utilizing photocatalytic technologies based on sunlight.
Sustainable Agriculture
The technology proposed in the current project to synthesize and deliver urea fertilizer to plants will follow sustainable agriculture models by promoting:
- The efficiency of available resources.
- The sustainability of the agricultural sector.
- The preservation of the environment.
- The safety and quality of products.
Economic Impact
For many countries, agriculture is the dominant sector in developing the economy. Increasing productivity and the modernization of agricultural production systems are the primary drivers of global poverty reduction and energy.
