We’ve reached a fork in the fertilizer road: Which path keeps food cheap and the world cool?
More (but greener) fertilizer or less fertilizer (and less meat)
By Mark Harris
In the modern world, food means fertilizer. Everything from a bowl of breakfast cereal to a curry relies on abundant use of synthetic fertilizer to raise crops or livestock. (The one notable exception, seafood, has its own carbon and sustainability problems). Over the last century, fertilizer use has enabled an unprecedented increase in human population and well-being. Average per-acre corn yields, for example, rose from 25 bushels in 1926 to 170 in 2006—and food became relatively much cheaper. But the Green Revolution has been anything but green. Fertilizer is a product of the fossil fuel industry, releasing carbon dioxide during its manufacture and emitting nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas with 300 times the warming potential of CO2. Globally, fertilizers are responsible for more than 2.6 gigatons of carbon emissions annually, more than global shipping and aviation combined.
Which leads to our present dilemma. How do we continue our extraordinary advances in nutrition and prosperity, worldwide, without digging ourselves deeper into a carbon hole?

More (But Greener) Fertilizer
Is The Way Forward
1. We can’t do without it. After Sri Lanka restricted fertilizer use in 2022, it saved $400 million on fertilizer imports—but spent $450 million on rice imports as production slumped 20%, Vox reports. Moving to organic production for cleaner, more sustainable food makes matters even worse. A USDA survey of over 14,000 farms found that organic yields were 30 to 40% lower for crops such as wheat, corn, and soy. Fertilizer looks like it’s here to stay.

2. We can make it without fossil fuels. The good news is that we can clean up fertilizer’s supply chain. Most hydrogen is currently produced from natural gas (methane) using a dirty, inefficient process with significant CO2 emissions. But hydrogen can also be made using electricity to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. If that electricity comes from a renewable source such as solar, geothermal, or wind power, the “green hydrogen” it produces will have almost no carbon footprint. There’s also the tempting possibility of mining natural “gold hydrogen” directly from the Earth. Although both processes are in the earliest stages of commercialization, they might scale rapidly with investment.
3. De-industrializing fertilizer. The Holy Grail for sustainable fertilizer is a formula that releases no greenhouse gasses and doesn’t involve an expensive industrial process. One promising route is biofertilizer—live bacteria that turns atmospheric nitrogen directly into ammonia for plants. Biofertilizers are ten times cheaper than synthetic fertilizers, and they are already in widespread use in Brazil. Another option is to source ammonia from municipal sewage rather than natural gas.

No. Less Fertilizer (And Less Meat)
Is The Right Path
1. Not wasting a drop. We can easily use much, much less fertilizer than we do today. Precision agriculture uses polymer-coated controlled-release fertilizers that spoon-feed nutrients at a pace crops need. This means that more nitrogen goes into the plant itself, and less runs off to pollute rivers or escape as nitrous oxide. Controlled-release fertilizers can cut nitrous oxide emissions by 30% and decrease runoff by as much as 50%. Applying fertilizer only at the right time and in the right place can also reduce usage, by up to 50%. These practices would also save farmers’ money—key to a speedy roll-out.

2. Kicking our cow habit. If everyone was vegan, we wouldn’t have a fertilizer dilemma. Most nitrogen fertilizer in the US goes directly to the production of corn that is then used to feed cows. Cows burp and fart methane, take up tracts of land that could grow crops for humans (or biofuels), and to add insult to environmental injury, are a very inefficient source of calories. About 20% of people in the world are already vegetarian, and sales of plant-based foods are predicted to increase five-fold by 2030. But rising prosperity has also made meat more affordable: global meat consumption doubled in the 30 years from 1988 to 2018, and is still growing.
3. Switch to crops that don’t need it. We don’t just eat fertilizer, we wear it. Cotton requires large amounts of chemical fertilizers (as well as water and pesticides) to ensure high yields. Innovative cellulose-based textiles made from unfertilized wood and other plants could replace cotton in many garments. There’s even hope for food crops that could deliver big yields without fertilizer. Last year, Wired ran a story on a variety of indigenous Mexican corn that fixes its own nitrogen from the air and could be bred into commercial strains.

What To Keep An Eye On
1. Smarter carrots. Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act earmarked $22 billion for regenerative agriculture last year with the goal of maintaining yields while promoting climate-smart farming. But some climate strategies conflict with traditional farm bills, says Ben Lilliston of the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy in The New York Times. “Large-scale commodity production requires a lot of fertilizer use and pesticide use,” he said. “The core farm bill programs that lock those systems in place are still there.” OECD governments provide around $600 billion of agricultural support each year (including fertilizer subsidies) that the UN notes contribute “only modestly” to the objectives of boosting crop yields and helping a just transition to more climate-friendly policies.
2. Stouter sticks. Will countries like the Netherlands and Canada really be able to regulate large reductions in fertilizer? If not, there are other paths to success. Researchers in Illinois have calculated that charging farmers a fee for nitrogen leaching could reduce fertilizer pollution by 20%, resulting in a range of environmental and health benefits. Some jurisdictions, including Florida, however, are actually rolling back fertilizer restrictions.
3. Vested interests. Farmers in Canada, the Netherlands, and New Zealand have already taken to the streets to protest planned reductions of nitrogen fertilizers, fearing lower yields and lost income. In Sri Lanka, the government was forced to pay farmers when their biggest cash crop, tea, suffered production shortfalls due to synthetic fertilizer bans. Ultimately the government rolled back its ban. Such protests, however, are likely only the tip of the political iceberg should food prices spike.
Nice solid strong open for $SNRG looks like that was one buyer loading the boat this morning. Whales are still circling the waters...
GM $SNRG Famalam
A little consolidation or pullback after such a large move up Friday is to be expected! As long as SNRG maintains support off the .26-.28 range(prior resistance) we should be good to go higher... Good place to be buying the dip is in those ranges! I'm a bidder there...
Booooooooooom hows that for a close! Wow nice action... Looking forward to next week.
Chart is really shaping up if we can crack that resistance at .28 $SNRG will be off to the races!
GM $SNRG Investors Happy Monday!
GM $SNRG Board TGIF
Market Maker PUMA is Boxing it! Playing both sides of the spread, bid and the ask. It looks like they may be caught in a short position. Why else would they be trying to soak it up on the bid yet selling on the offer?
Agreed very strong close! Nice to see it back above the 50DMA
Im a LEADER not a follower!
Looks like the bottom is in, I've been adding some more this week!
Can I be friends with you and your friends?
Saw them move up to .22 into the close and cleaned out some offers! Lets see what CDEL continues to do on the buy side. Can't blame them for wanting to soak up what they can at the bid to try and get the best dollar cost average. $SNRG
I watch the L2 like a hawk never saw 288k on the bid it started off at 208k if my memory serves me right!
That big bidder has been showing up since middle of last week! Would be nice to see them raise their limit and take out some offers if they are a true buyer...
I've been following SNRG for over 3 years...
Whats another 3 weeks!
Same MM that showed up late in the day on Wed. probably same buyer! Glad to see them back
Form 4 out, looks like Marc took down another large block of shares(856,483 shares) for a loan he made to the company
Why would he be taking in all this stock instead of being repaid cash on his investment into the company? Probably because he thinks the stock is going to be worth way more!
Something is cooking behind the scenes...
"The shares were issued as repayment of loans by Mr. Hazout to the Issuer. Mr. Hazout lent a total of $177,784"

Dilution? Last share increase was only 375k shares. That doesn't seem too bad to me. I think the share structure is pretty much maxed out. In my opinion the share price is under pressure from inpatient shareholders that are throwing in the towel and wanted to exit stage left. It doesn't scare me one bit... Let the week hands get out at these lower levels, it will be less resistance on the way up when we do breakout...

Go back to this post, I think $SNRG is closer to completing the buildout at the Hamilton facility than you think! Copied and pasted the post below
Your guess is as good as mine. I go off what information I get from the public domain ie. press releases, interviews, social media etc... I did see some Tweets this week that were promising and moving in the right direction at the Hamilton Facility... I've included screen shots below if you go to SNRG's twitter feed you can verify for yourself by following my instructions... I noticed by clicking on Susglobal's tweet "We're thrilled to be expanding our #organic #fertilizer production capabilities with the Hamilton facility!

GM SNRG Board, lets see if that large bidder from yesterday for 200k shows back up today! Would be nice to see them take out the offers if they are a real buyer...
I seen that CDEL showing 204,500 clocked in 11 minutes after the 3oclock hour!
Whales circling the water in Power hour!

It seems as though peoples patience is wearing thin
Yup we broke back above the 50DMA, $SNRG just needs to break back through .28 and .36 then its off to the races!
Welp we are only a week away, time will tell. I've continued to remain patient! Lets see if it pays off...
I think you two are over analyzing things, a debt reduction like this in my view is only a positive. Thats one less debt that needs to be paid off in the future and a nice improvement to the balance sheet. The fact that Marc was able to negotiate it down for pennies on the dollar and at such a deep discount to its face value is a huge victory for the company! Go $SNRG

Yup nice strong close here .249 just showed up on the ask!

Its all about connecting the dots my friend. Hopefully this helps all of us SNRG Longs! Have a great weekend.
Cheers,
StockSumo
IDK What to make of it, pretty stupid if you ask me! Probably someone that needs to free up some cash for an expensive weekend or to pay there mortgage or mercedeez lease payment! Who knows... What I do know is that GTSM Is typically a retail MM so I think its probably a flipper who bought it in the .15-.18 range and is taking a quick profit and moving on. Either way it will be less resistance on the way up once the PPS breaks out again... I'd take it down if I wasn't already so heavily invested. I've got enough of an investment dedicated to SNRG where I dont need anymore. Will be a nice price point for someone else to take down a good chunk...
Good morning, is today the day $SNRG starts inching back up? Seems like the sellers that have been smashing bids in recent weeks have been drying up. 19's were holding firm yesterday...

Getting Hamilton fully operational will definitely be a key catalyst. I believe in Marc's ability to pull it off! Time will tell, he's a seasoned CEO and knows what he's doing. Never any doubts $SNRG
Agreed I first began trading in SNRG back in 2020 and its done very well for me on a few occasions since then. I'm looking forward to an EPIC 2023 for the company and its shareholders! Happy to be a LONG will be here for sometime.... As it has in the past patience will be rewarded here again...
