Researchers produce urea in the field using system powered by biobatteries and solar energy

The CONFETI project, coordinated by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), has concluded three years of research with the commissioning of a pilot system capable of producing urea, a nitrogen fertilizer widely used in agriculture, directly in the field using renewable energy. This fertilizer is produced from carbon dioxide (CO₂) and nitrates in an electrochemical reactor powered by energy…
