Syngas AI Series No. 2: Fixing the Ammonia Dilemma Amidst Geo-Political Turmoil
As global tensions rise with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the repercussions have extended beyond geopolitical borders, impacting the delicate balance of resource supply and demand. One significant casualty has been the supply of natural gas, a lifeline for many nations, particularly affecting the agricultural sector in Poland and its reliance on ammonia for food production. In this edition, we explore how the Syngas Project’s TITAN platform, coupled with microbial fermentation of nitrogen-fixing bacteria, can offer a sustainable solution to the ammonia dilemma.

Ammonia is a vital component for fertiliser production, crucial for sustaining scaled agricultural productivity and ensuring food security.
