This system turns cow manure into fertilizer before it can decompose into greenhouse gas

Dairy farms contribute approximately 2% of total greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S., primarily through methane from manure lagoons. Sedron Technologies' Varcor system addresses this issue by recycling dairy waste, converting it into carbon-negative ammonia and organic fertilizers. This innovative process captures ammonia from wastewater, significantly reducing emissions and reliance on traditional petrochemical fertilizers. With its cost-effectiveness, Varcor presents a sustainable solution to environmental challenges posed by conventional fertilizer production, aiming to transform waste management in the dairy industry.

Traditional nitrogen fertilizer production and wastewater treatment contribute significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions, but the Varcor system disrupts this cycle by capturing ammonia directly from wastewater.

It costs less than current methods,' says Stanley Janicki, Sedron's chief commercial officer, 'and it is solving incredibly large environmental issues.
