Atlas Agro’s innovative business model will seek to produce competitive carbon-free nitrate fertilizers locally in agricultural regions, thereby displacing imported products with a significant carbon footprint from both production and transportation.

It is expected to assist the company in realizing its vision of providing a sustainable alternative to conventional fossil-fuel based fertilizer products, which contribute heavily to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
