Nitrogen based fertilizers have always been an easy solution with farming. They are not only incredibly effective, but they are also readily available and a cost-effective method of enhancing crops. Unfortunately, Nitrous Oxide (N₂O) is created as a bi-product of these fertilizers. N₂O is 265 times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide. This results in it contributing to the depletion of our ozone layer. In a paper published recently in Nature Climate Change, global emissions are higher and growing faster than are being recorded.

With the current level of technology available at hand, it’s important that we stay vigilant. We have to monitor the weight of our own ecological footprint. Scentroid carries an advanced non-dispersion infrared Nitrous Oxide sensor. We can help monitor your facility, plot the best course of action, and connect you with the latest mitigation solutions – before the regulatory framework is placed on your operation. Remember, sudden change can be both difficult and expensive. Be proactive, not reactive – Let’s figure out the best solution for you, together.
