澳大利亚清洁技术公司PlasmaLeap保证2 000万美元,以利用可再生能源扩大农业化肥零排放生产规模。 Australian clean-tech firm PlasmaLeap secures $20M to scale zero-emission on-farm fertilizer production using renewable energy.

澳大利亚一家清洁技术公司PlasmaLeap Technologies获得3 000万澳元(2 000万美元)A系列资金,由盖茨基金会、易感者和亚拉增长公司牵头,以推进其零排放的氨和硝酸生产技术。 PlasmaLeap Technologies, an Australian clean-tech company, has secured A$30 million (US$20 million) in Series A funding led by the Gates Foundation, Investible, and Yara Growth Ventures to advance its zero-emissions ammonia and nitric acid production technology. 这些资金将支持在新南威尔士州和塔斯马尼亚州推出农场肥料中心,扩大实地试验,并扩大其仅使用空气、水和可再生电力的模块式反应堆系统的规模。 The funds will support the rollout of on-farm fertiliser hubs in New South Wales and Tasmania, expand field trials, and scale its modular reactor system that uses only air, water, and renewable electricity. 该技术旨在通过促进分散的低成本制造业、减少供应链风险、改善粮食安全和创造潜在的碳信用额度,使化肥生产脱碳,化肥生产是全球二氧化碳排放的一个主要来源。 The technology aims to decarbonize fertiliser production—a major source of global CO2 emissions—by enabling decentralized, low-cost manufacturing, reducing supply-chain risks, improving food security, and creating potential carbon credits. 随着全球氨市场预计在今后二十年中价值将翻三番,创新的目标是增加对可持续农业投入和电子燃料的需求。 With the global ammonia market projected to triple in value over the next two decades, the innovation targets growing demand for sustainable agricultural inputs and eFuels.
