No immediate tech info on their front-page. I'm assuming it is a solar/wind powered nitrogen fixation plant?

Full-scale plants using electrolyzers to produce hydrogen and then ammonia using Haber-Bosch synthesis have existed for decades. However, none survived into the new millennium due to high power prices and suboptimal design.

Atlas Agro has developed the technology further in order to adapt it to the characteristics of renewable production and in order to capture new developments in materials and design since the last renewable plants were built.

Ah, this is great!

I've a pipe dream that someone will use a similar pipeline to produce ethylene gas one day. Plastic from atmospheric carbon dioxide and water? Sign me up.
