Q6. How does nitrogen fertiliser production contribute to global carbon emissions? Explain how plasma-based green fertilisers offer emission reductions. (10 M)
Difficulty Level: Medium
Reference: DTE
Why the question:
Recent innovations like NitroCapt’s plasma-based green fertiliser have triggered debate on decarbonising fertiliser production, making it highly relevant for climate goals and food security.
Key Demand of the question:
Explain how conventional nitrogen fertiliser causes global carbon emissions and discuss how plasma-based green fertilisers reduce emissions through technological shifts.Structure of the Answer:
Introduction
Highlight importance of nitrogen fertiliser in global food systems and its carbon footprint.Body
- Contribution of conventional nitrogen fertiliser production to carbon emissions through energy-intensive processes.
- Role of plasma-based technology in emission reduction through fossil-free production and energy efficiency.
Conclusion
State how such innovations can transform agriculture’s climate impact and enhance food security resilience.
