The selected Nordic companies will be addressing multiple problem statements gathered from the participating partners. Furthermore, adopting and unifying #nordicmade technology-driven solutions to transform Singapore and Southeast Asia environmental industry into cleaner, sustainable and more liveable cities.
In Phase 1, we have organised two partner introduction webinars for Nordic companies to understand the water-waste-food challenges and business opportunities in Singapore and Southeast Asia.

Group 2: Organic Waste
Solutions include
• Waste to fertiliser
• Food waste segregation
• Waste to biogas
N2 Applied
Website: www.n2.no
N2 Applied aims to fundamentally improve global food production by increasing yield and reducing emissions. It has developed a patented technology that enables farmers to produce their own fertiliser using slurry or digestate, air, and electricity. Currently, N2 is installing semi-commercial units on pilot farms, preparing for commercialisation in Q4 2021. N2 Applied’s solution is a processing unit upgrading organic substrates to efficient fertiliser by adding nitrogen from the air. The process reduces climate emissions: CO2 and methane. The result is a liquid nitrogen fertiliser providing the same yield as chemical fertiliser, at a competitive cost. The reaction also stops ammonia emissions from livestock slurry. Ammonia contributes to the formation of particulate matter (PM2.5), the most harmful form of air pollution, the N2 technology consequently reduces air pollution which is harmful to human health. In this WWF programme, they will team up with REKLIMA – their major innovation is to utilise CO₂ from biogas production as a resource in food production. 40% of the gas produced in the biogas plant is CO₂. Instead of being released into the atmosphere, it is used in greenhouses to enhance photosynthesis. This is a smart and cost-effective form of direct CO₂ capture, which provides better productivity and profitability.

For the model to work, Riverrecycle gathers a coalition of partners and establishes a local network to run the operation according to Riverrecycle’s principles. While offering the affected population's infrastructure to turn an ecological problem into an economic opportunity, we also invest in waste management infrastructure.
