Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are often overlooked in climate discussions, yet they are 300 times more potent than CO₂ in their environmental impact. These reactive nitrogen compounds are a leading cause of air pollution, biodiversity loss, soil degradation and health problems worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, NOx contributes to one in eight premature deaths globally.
Conventional chemical fertilisers, while essential for crop growth, are costly, inefficient and a major source of nitrogen oxide pollution, compounding environmental challenges. NANOARC’s ECO-RN system offers a bold, sustainable alternative: capturing reactive nitrogen and converting it into a bioavailable, slow-release fertiliser, while remediating air and soil pollution.
Essentially, nature relies on lightning to convert atmospheric nitrogen into reactive forms that dissolve in rainwater, fertilising the soil. NANOARC’s ECO-RN system replicates this process in a controlled, catalytic manner. Instead of relying on random lightning events, ECO-RN captures reactive nitrogen oxides (NOx) from the air, binds them safely to the nanomaterial surface and stores them for slow, sustained release into the soil. This ensures that plants receive nitrogen when they need it, without the risks of environmental pollution associated with conventional fertilisers or uncontrolled nitrogen oxide emissions.
ECO-RN, dispersed among soil particles, captures essential nitrogen directly from the air and delivers it to plants, freeing agriculture from costly fossil-fuel-based fertilisers and the geopolitical risks and supply disruptions that threaten global food security. ECO-RN decouples agriculture from the fossil fuel industry while simultaneously remediating nitrogen pollution, making it both economically and environmentally transformative.
Nitrogen availability is one of the biggest constraints on crop productivity in regions with low rainfall, high temperatures and infrequent lightning events. In these environments:
Natural fertilisation via lightning is rare, meaning soils often lack sufficient reactive nitrogen for optimal plant growth.
Conventional chemical fertilisers, while effective, are vulnerable to volatilisation and leaching, especially in hot climates, leading to lost nitrogen, air pollution and water contamination.
Crop stress is magnified because nitrogen availability fluctuates, creating gaps in plant metabolism and reducing yield.
ECO-RN ADDRESSES THESE CHALLENGES DIRECTLY:
Independent of rainfall or lightning: ECO-RN captures nitrogen oxides from the atmosphere, meaning even in arid regions, nitrogen can be stored and delivered to crops.
Thermally stable and slow-release: The nanomaterial retains nitrogen bound as nitrate (NO₃⁻) even at elevated temperatures (up to 527 °C thermal stability on the nano-surface), ensuring continuous availability during droughts or heat stress.
Reduces nitrogen loss in extreme conditions: By binding NOx, ECO-RN prevents volatilisation and runoff, which are exacerbated in dry or flood-prone soils.
Optimises plant growth under stress: With a steady nitrogen supply, crops maintain chlorophyll biosynthesis, protein formatioN and overall metabolism, improving resilience in challenging climates.
IMPLICATIONS FOR FARMERS & AGROCHEMICAL COMPANIES:
Hot, arid regions: ECO-RN ensures nitrogen is available when water is scarce, maintaining yields without repeated fertiliser application.
Low-lightning areas: Crops no longer rely on rare natural nitrogen fixation events; ECO-RN acts as a reliable, artificial nitrogen source.
Economic stability: Reduced fertiliser losses and improved yields provide predictable returns, even under extreme environmental conditions.
Environmental protection: By capturing NOx and releasing nitrogen gradually, ECO-RN reduces greenhouse gas emissions and local air pollution, even in climates prone to extreme heat.
In essence, ECO-RN transforms climatic disadvantages into opportunities, providing a consistent, safe, and sustainable nitrogen supply where conventional fertilisers often fail.
ECO-RN is a white nanopowder with an extraordinary surface area. It acts as a highly effective NOx sorbent while serving as a nitrate storage system for plants.
ECO-RN delivers a win-win scenario for farmers, the environment and society. By integrating nitrogen capture and fertiliser delivery, it redefines agriculture, creating a future where productivity and sustainability go hand in hand.

FERTILISED CROPLAND SOILS: The annual average NOx concentrations typically range between 5 and 25 µg/m³, driven by microbial activity following fertiliser application, rainfall and dry soil conditions.
MANURE STORAGE SYSTEMS: in lagoons and tanks, concentrations are generally higher, averaging 10 to 40 µg/m³ annually, with emissions produced continuously through the decomposition of nitrogen-rich organic matter.
LIVESTOCK HOUSING: In barns and freestall systems, NOx levels are typically between 15 and 50 µg/m³ per year, due to the constant breakdown of urine and faeces in confined environments.
SILAGE & GRAIN STORAGE AREAS: The annual averages range from 5 to 30 µg/m³, with intermittent spikes during periods of fermentation or organic decomposition.
COMPOSTING AREAS: These show similar patterns, with average concentrations between 10 and 35 µg/m³ annually, increasing during active microbial decomposition phases.
FARMYARDS & MIXED USE AREAS:, Areas where machinery operation and waste handling occur, NOx concentrations typically range from 10 to 30 µg/m³ per year, depending on activity levels.
RURAL BACKGROUND AREAS: Areas with minimal direct emissions, concentrations are lower, generally between 4 and 10 µg/m³ annually, reflecting baseline atmospheric levels.
