PhD Thesis Paul Brouwer, 2017 Innovation Azoll lla , , a novel su sustainable cr crop which can be grown in independent t of f Haber-Bosch fertil tilizer

Erisman et al., 2018 Haber-Bosch Reaction

Dreschel, 2017 Global Problems • 80% of nitrogen in our body is Haber-Bosch nitrogen • 2% of the world’s total energy production • Environmental problems and threat to water life biodiversity

Hamdi, 1982; Ayanaba and Dart, 1977 Bio-Utilization of Symbiont Nostoc azolla llae fix fixes atm tmospheric nitr itrogen in into organic nitr itrogen Azolla pinnata 600 – 1000 kg nitrogen ha -1 y -1 Glycine max 60 – 200 kg nitrogen ha -1 y -1

Brouwer et al., 2018 Enormous Growth ⅔ of pool harvested every week Azolla filiculoides 30 – 45 tonnes DW ha -1 y -1 Glycine max 2-5 tonnes DW ha -1 y -1

PhD Thesis Paul Brouwer, 2017

Technical Feasibility

Muradov et al., 2014; Wageningen UR Livestock Research Growth on 2.5% ADSW Azoll lla takes up up all ll nitr itrogen and phosp sphorus 1.2 million pigs in The Netherlands 12.4 million tonnes swine manure 40 tonnes Azolla DW ha -1 y -1 6 tonnes manure ha -1 y -1 10 tonnes protein ha -1 y -1

Summary Reduce: • Glo lobal problems caused by by th the Haber-Bosch reaction • The he manure problem in in Th The Neth therlands • CO CO2-emission caused by by la large dis istr tribution routes Incr In crease se lo local production of of goods su such as as: • Bio io-ferti tilizer, anim imal feed and protein • Residual pla lant matter (b (bio io-plastics and peat su substitu tuti tion)
