JNG’s Innovative "Waste-to-Fertilizer" Technology Achieves Breakthrough Results in European Field Trials

Against the backdrop of the increasingly urgent demand for global agricultural sustainable development, JNG's low-concentration compound fertilizer developed based on ammonia-based desulfurization and decarbonization technology has performed exceptionally well in field trials in several European countries. The test data shows that our fertilizer can maintain even increase crop yields while significantly reducing the usage of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, providing an innovative solution for the European Union to achieve agricultural green transformation and self-supply of fertilizer.

The EU fertilizer industry is currently in a critical period of transformation

With the European Parliament's approval of the new tariff on fertilizer from Russia and Belarus on May 22, 2025 (2025/0021(COD)), the EU fertilizer market is undergoing a major transformation.

According to this resolution, by 2028, the import tariffs for nitrogen fertilizer products such as ammonium nitrate and urea will gradually increase to 315 euros per ton, and the tariff for compound fertilizers will reach 430 euros per ton. The new tariff policy may lead to an increase in fertilizer prices in the EU, further burdening farmers.

Technological Innovation: From Industrial By-products to Efficient Fertilizer

The innovative fertilizer technology of JNG has provided an important solution to the agricultural development challenges in the EU. Through the resource recycling technology, the ammonium sulfate and ammonium bicarbonate produced during the ammonia desulfurization and decarbonization process are transformed into raw materials of high-quality fertilizer.

As early as 2006, research conducted by the Bulgarian University of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy had confirmed that the by-products of sulfur dioxide removal from coal-fired power plants, namely ammonium sulfate, fully met the fertilizer standards of the EU. In 2023, JNG entrusted the international authoritative agricultural research institution Syntech Research Group to conduct field trials in Spain and Portugal. The results showed that the fertilizer efficacy of the decarbonization by-product ammonium bicarbonate was comparable to that of conventional urea.

This breakthrough technology not only enables the resource utilization of industrial waste, reduces production costs, but also alleviates the carbon emission environmental burden caused by traditional fertilizer.

The data from the field trials are very encouraging

In 2024, JNG conducted systematic field experiments in Germany and France, achieving groundbreaking results:



The test results are highly consistent with the conclusions obtained from 10 test sites in Jiangsu, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, China, fully demonstrating the wide applicability of this technology under different climatic conditions and soil types.

Promote the EU's agriculture transformation and jointly create a global green future

Our low-concentration compound fertilizer technology has brought multiple benefits to the agriculture in the EU. Economically, it is expected to reduce farmers' fertilization costs by 20% to 30%; environmentally, it has solved the problems of ammonia volatilization and nitrogen deposition caused by the extensive use of urea; strategically, it has enhanced the local self-sufficiency rate of fertilize and reduced its reliance on imports.

It can be said that our innovative fertilizer not only solve the practical problems in agricultural production, but the concept of "using industrial waste to produce fertilizer" also represents the future direction of sustainable agricultural development.

In the future, JNG will collaborate closely with Syntech Research Group and continue to conduct experiments in Bulgaria and further verify the technical feasibility. The success of the European field trials indicates that the technological innovation of our ammonia-based desulfurization and decarbonization process for producing low-concentration compound fertilizers has gained international recognition, and it also contributes Chinese efforts to global carbon neutrality mission.
