Problem
Conventional fertilizers are produced from fossil fuels and emit nitrogen oxides (NOx), contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Farmers seeking to reduce their environmental impact lack affordable, high‑performance alternatives that also address carbon removal.
Solution
Shomax manufactures sustainable fertilizer products that replace traditional fossil‑fuel‑based fertilizers while capturing airborne NOx and converting it into plant‑available nutrients. Its proprietary NitroLEAF system delivers a green UAN (urea‑ammonium nitrate) replacement at an ultra‑low, stable price suitable for conventional farming equipment. The production process uses clean‑energy technologies to ensure consistent nutrient quality and generates carbon credits by permanently retiring nitrogen after crop uptake. By integrating carbon‑removal and fertilizer functions, Shomax enables growers to lower emissions, improve ESG performance, and maintain crop yields.
Target Audience
Primary customers are large‑scale agricultural producers and fertilizer distributors seeking low‑cost, environmentally responsible nitrogen solutions.
