What is the green fertiliser breakthrough developed by NitroCapt?<\/strong><br><strong>Ans:<\/strong> It is a renewable-energy-powered plasma-based technology that extracts nitrogen from the air without using fossil fuels, producing eco-friendly fertilisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q2. What is the significance of the Food Planet Prize?<\/strong><br><strong>Ans:<\/strong> The Food Planet Prize is the world\u2019s largest environmental award, offering $2 million to innovations that positively transform global food systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q3. How much global CO\u2082 emission is caused by traditional fertiliser production?<\/strong><br><strong>Ans:<\/strong> About 2.7% of total global CO\u2082 emissions come from nitrogen fertiliser production using fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q4. How does NitroCapt\u2019s technology differ from the Haber-Bosch process?<\/strong><br><strong>Ans:<\/strong> Unlike the Haber-Bosch process, which relies on natural gas and emits large amounts of CO\u2082, NitroCapt\u2019s method uses plasma and green electricity to oxidise atmospheric nitrogen with minimal emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q5. Why is this innovation important for India?<\/strong><br><strong>Ans:<\/strong> India is a major consumer of nitrogen fertilisers. This innovation can reduce import dependency, cut costs, and improve food security through decentralised and sustainable production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span
