How Biological Nitrogen Conversion Differs from the Haber-Bosch Process

How Biological Nitrogen Conversion Differs from the Haber-Bosch Process

The Haber-Bosch process has defined ammonia production for more than 100 years.

It combines nitrogen from the air with hydrogen derived from natural gas under extreme temperature and pressure.

While effective, this method is energy-intensive and centralized.

Biological nitrogen conversion operates differently.

Nitrogen-Dominant Biological Systems

In methane-optimized anaerobic digestion systems, carbon conversion and biogas recovery are prioritized.

Natural Ammonia™ technology instead operates in a nitrogen-dominant regime.

This means:• Low carbon-to-nitrogen operating conditions• Suppression of methane relative to methane-focused systems• Optimization for ammonia generation and recovery

Rather than maximizing biogas output, the system prioritizes nitrogen conversion.

Ammonia Recovery & Stabilization

After biological conversion:• Ammonia is separated and recovered• Concentrated into liquid compositions• Stabilized for agricultural application

The resulting products fall within concentration ranges suitable for agricultural use and blending.

This process is protected under U.S. Patent No. 11,518,720 and related filings.

Why It Matters

Biological nitrogen conversion provides:• Alternative nitrogen production infrastructure• Integration with organic nitrogen streams• Compatibility with agricultural distribution systems• Commercial-scale viability

As nitrogen markets evolve, production pathways will continue to diversify.

Biological nitrogen conversion represents one of those pathways.
