Nitricity's plasma reactor uses solar electricity to produce nitrogen fertilizer; eliminates emissions from transport, and provides alternative to the Haber-Bosch process

"we manufacture nitrates (NO3-), there is a lot of oxygen to transport per lb of nitrogen”. Nitricity uses a 200 gallon tank to store the product prior to it being applied to the tomatoes... an energy efficiency ten times better than present plasma values and equal to or better than that of the conventional Haber-Bosch process could be achieved"
