Work on the contribution of Bactériosol® to combat the greenhouse effect

 

In 2006, a study was carried out by an engineer who was working on the project Grignon Energie Positive at AgroParisTech. He calculated the "costs in equivalent carbon (C)" and "in equivalent carbon dioxide (CO2)" when manufacturing one tonne of fertilizer compared with one tonne of Bactériosol®, applying the method Bilan Carbone® as used by the ADEME.
The study showed that one tonne of ammonium nitrate (33.5% of nitrogen) has a cost of 368kg in equivalent C whereas one tonne of Bactériosol® represents only 160 kg. Similarly, one tonne of ammonium nitrate (33.5% of nitrogen) costs 1348 kg in equivalent CO2 whereas one tonne of Bactériosol® costs only 585 kg. Thus Bactériosol® contributes 2.3 times less to the greenhouse effect than a fertilizer with nitrogen.
When we calculate the average quantities of fertilizer (NPK) used per hectare (collected by the study ADEPRINA on suckler cows) we notice that a typical breeding farm of 100 ha applying the Bactériosol® method has an average cut of 45% in the equivalent C or CO2 cost compared with a farm working conventionally.

Bactériosol® is a carbon sink that acts favorably on the process of humification and on the improvement of the nutritional results of crops.
