Bishop, of Houston, said the work done over the last two years will extend the Hawkins Field's life by about 25 years. It also upgraded the plant, making it more modern and reliable, and reduced its carbon footprint.

It's one of the most important fertilizers and half the reason soybeans are planted are for their nitrogen fixing capabilities. It's a heck of a lot more efficient to recover it than to process it from the air. That's just the beginning...
