NUNOS is a spin-off from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) that uses the C.R.O.P.® (Combined Regenerative Organic food Production) process—originally developed for space applications—to produce high-quality fertilizers for agriculture. The process is based on a purely biological method and does not use any chemicals or hazardous substances. NUNOS processes manure or fermentation products from biogas plants into a fertilizer that is directly available to plants. The process yields a liquid fertilizer solution containing predominantly plant-available nutrients, as well as a solid fertilizer with a high organic matter content. NUNOS helps reduce the use of mineral fertilizers, protect soils and water bodies from massive nitrogen inputs, and prevent the emission of environmental toxins (e.g., ammonia) from farmland.
