So theTrudeau Government in Canada pushes ahead with fertiliser reductions to reducethe emission of nitrous oxide into the atmosphere, and farmers cry foul.
First the Netherlands, now Canada…who’s next? This article is worth a read.

We cannot reducenitrogen based fertiliser applications in agriculture and maintain crop yield ..thatis a dichotomy; it doesn’t happen….and it’s a global problemHowever there is an answer…
And the answer is Zeolites… synthetic, or manufactured zeolites, produced using Zeotechs proprietary technology.
In a previouspost I highlighted the work Griffith University is doing with manufacturedZeolites… produced using Zeotech’s proprietary technology.
Zeolites havelong been known to be extremely beneficial in agriculture, you can buy anatural Zeolite at Bunnings with all the benefits described on the pack.

So as youcan see, the benefits of Zeolite in agriculture are pretty well documented. Theonly problem there is that it costs $6 per kilo, or $6000 per tonne. They arenatural zeolites. You can buy in bulk much cheaper, however it is still way tooexpensive for farmers to use.
Manufacturedzeolite using Zeotech’s tech is a tiny fraction of that cost, and a fraction ofcurrent manufacturing method.
SyntheticZeolites have much greater efficacy (probably double) than natural zeolitesmainly because of purity levels. (There are other reasons but this not theplace for that discussion)
Farmers willwalk through walls for an affordable product like this. Wesfarmers knows that. I speak from experience here, my immediate family is involved in broadacre agriculture. Fertilisers prices are at crippling levels. If they had access to an alternative cheaper product that would build their soil (instead of harming it) cease the emission of nitrous oxide, CO2 and ammonia, and reduce the amount of nitrogenous fertiliser to maintainyield, it would have to be a no brainer……….AND the biggest benefit might just be the carbon credits or ACCUs generated by the sequestration of nitrous oxide (NO2) and carbon dioxide (CO2)
Currently there’sabout 6 million tonnes of fertiliser used in agriculture in Australia…..and around100 million tonnes (or more) around the world.
With Governmentsintent on reducing those numbers….the opportunity for Zeotech is mind boggling.The market is of such volume that for Zeotech to sell a million tonnes ofproduct into the fertiliser market is a fairly conservative assumption. Thatalone makes Zeotech a $billion company.
