Using Carbon Control and Micronized Sulfur Technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fertilizer applications and to enhance soil nutrient availability

Sulvaris is a pioneer in developing carbon control technology (CCT) and micronized sulphur technology (MST). Fertilizers developed using those technologies provide carbon, nitrogen and sulfur, increasing crop yields and soil fertility. Further studies are needed to optimize formulations for the CCT and MST products, especially their efficacy in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The main objective of this study is to assess the performance of new CCT and MST products in soil carbon and nitrogen mineralization and GHG emissions (CO2 and N2O) as compared to the application of ammonium sulfate and urea. The laboratory incubation experiments will involve the systematic collection and analysis of gas and soil samples at regular intervals. These analyses aim to provide crucial insights into the effectiveness of the products in mitigating GHG emissions and enhancing soil fertility.
