Bioponics is replacing chemical fertilizer plants with a sustainable, bacteria-based solution. Currently, 1% of global energy usage is deployed into chemical fertilizer production, which is both time and resource intensive. Bioponics has developed a photosynthetic bacteria that releases ammonium as an ethically, and naturally sourced fertilizer using atmospheric nitrogen. Compared to traditional methods, we use 12x less energy and don’t release any toxins as a by-product of our production methods. At scale our biotech facility will increase profit margins by 20% comparatively.
