Van Iperen International is planning to scale up the GreenSwitch® Nitrate factory in The Netherlands, located at the biogas factory Agro Energie Hardenberg. This factory produces the first liquid Potassium Nitrate fertilizer with a close to zero carbon footprint, using an organic Nitrogen source. Beginning 2024, it is expected to complete the expansion.
Enhancing the effectiveness of the GreenSwitch Nitrate factory in Hardenberg
Since the opening of the GreenSwitch Nitrate factory in 2021, Van Iperen International and its partners have learned a lot about the process. The current plans to scale up will also be used to implement the lessons learned. This will result in an even more energy-efficient process and, thereby, an even further reduction of the carbon footprint.
Next to increased efficiency, the capacity of the factory will be expanded by installing a second bioreactor from Pure Green Agriculture. With the current step, Van Iperen International is aiming to broaden its range of sustainable Nitrate fertilizers and start producing Nitric Acid next to the liquid Potassium Nitrate. This expansion is supported by a DEI+ subsidy, which is a program of the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy supporting Dutch innovations in the field of sustainable energy and energy saving.
