New Edmonton plant makes fertilizer from waste water |
Sep 24:
Epcor unveiled a new facility Wednesday that removes phosphorous and nitrogen from wastewater and turns it into "pearls" of fertilizer to be spread on farmers' fields.
8The facility, which Epcor describes as "Canada's largest wastewater nutrient recovery facility," was built in partnership with Ostara Nutrient Recovery Technologies.
8Sewage from the city flows into the Gold Bar wastewater treatment plant, and after an initial round of treatment is piped to Clover Bar, said Simon Thomas, plant director.

Drones in agriculture: Find out more |
Sep 21:
The paper proposes a new strategy to improve the efficiency and productivity of agriculture by replacing laborers with intelligent machines like robots using latest technologies.
8Drones could be useful for farmers to estimate more accurately how much fertilizer and planting materials they will need during a particular season. This technology could help farmers around the world monitor their crops, fend off pests, improve land tenure, and more.
8However, their effective implementation depends upon some mandatory critical aspects that must be considered, including the configuration, mass, payload, flight range and costs.

Nuclear technology and how it can help fertilizer use |
Sep 20:
The website highlights the importance of Nuclear and Isotopic Techniques which can help develop climate-smart processes and methodologies in agricultural sector.
8Isotopic techniques, using carbon-13, oxygen-18 and nitrogen-15 signatures, are used to assess soil carbon sequestration and trace water and nutrient sources and pathways. In this way, isotopic techniques can contribute to more efficient water and fertilizer use.
8Studies show that the impacts of climate change are expected to worsen farming conditions, especially in developing countries that will need to produce more from limited land resources while using less efficient technologies.

LNG glut: No where in sight! |
Sep 19:
Looks like the much talked about supply glut in the LNG industry, that was meant to kick in in 2018, is not really to be seen anywhere around.
8Every cargo seems to be finding a market.
8Winter demand is expected to be robust enough, despite higher supplier of gas through transnational pipelines to China, to keep prices high.
8There is perhaps a slight period of uncertainty between the winter of 2018 and the summer of 2021, when new capacities come on stream, but the market will tighten considerably from 2021 onwards, just when new gas from India's KG Basin begins to come in.
8High LNG prices is bad news for the India, as it is a highly price sensitive market. Affordability in India is in the range of $5-7/mmbtu and not in the $9-11/mmbtu range.
8As prices stay high, gas marketing is where the challenge is going to be, both for domestic gas marketed by KG Basin suppliers and new LNG terminals which are coming up
