The Economics of Nitrogen Fertiliser Supply and Usage
James Allen (Bentleys Accountants)
- Cash flow cost of securing forward nitrogen supply.
- What price points make sense relative to seasonal production returns.
- What is the lost opportunity of not applying nitrogen due to price or supply constraints.

Nitrogen Production Options for Farm and Regional Scale
Greg Butler (FarmN)
- The standard industrial nitrogen production process (Natural Gas).
- Alternative nitrogen production methods.
   - examples of nitrogen fertiliser production using electrical technology.
   - examples of nitrogen fertiliser production using biomass technology.
- Nitrogen outputs, form, application and efficiency (nitrates, ammonia, urea).
- Nitrogen susceptibility to losses and where inhibitors will and won't work.
- Sustainable resources, role of legumes in nitrogen fixation and the importance of ground cover for soil health.

Moving to Adoption
- Business models and viable scale for adoption (farm scale, regional scale).
- Grants, credits and incentives.
- Product trials, feasibility, pilot plant or field trip.
- Questions and open discussion.

These workshops are funded by the Commonwealth of Australia through the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment, and Water under the Carbon Farming Outreach Program.
