The impact from replacing synthetic fertilizer is real – for farmers, the planet and your company’s climate commitments.

Achieve More with Nitrogen Credits

As companies look for opportunities to mitigate the risk of climate change to their operations, agriculture is emerging as a leading opportunity for value chain mitigation.

Nitrogen pollution contributes to biodiversity loss and greenhouse gas emissions. The production and use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer accounts for 2.5% of annual global GHG emissions.

By replacing synthetic fertilizer with Pivot Bio products, farmers can deliver an immediate, permanent avoidance of GHG emissions while also promoting cleaner air and water.

A Sustainability Program Built for Farmers, Designed for Companies

When farmers replace synthetic nitrogen with Pivot Bio microbial nitrogen, they achieve an immediate, permanent and measurable avoidance of impactful GHGs. These synthetic nitrogen replacements provide consistent impact year-over-year.

To date, Pivot Bio products are used on over 5 million acres, with the opportunity to scale the N-OVATOR® Program to reach millions more.

N-OVATOR® Nitrogen Credits

A nitrogen credit is a tradable asset that captures the positive environmental impacts that are delivered when synthetic nitrogen fertilizer is replaced with a non-polluting nitrogen source – such as preservation of water, reductions in nitrate leaching and avoided greenhouse gas emissions. Nitrogen credits are measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent avoided, liters of water preserved, and kilos of nitrate leaching prevented.

A More Sustainable Future

Pivot Bio can solve agriculture’s biggest challenge by delivering nitrogen to plants to feed a growing population without the negative impacts of synthetic fertilizer.
