This Century-Old Green Fuel Is Getting a New Life

Last week, I let you in on a little of my family history. My father’s ancestors were farmers and we’re still tied to the land thanks to that.

And today, I want to tell you a little about why our farm produces so much more food now than ever…

You see, back when my forefathers first settled the Indiana Territory, farmers planted seeds, tended fields, and had faith that God and the earth would provide a bountiful harvest.

And for years that was enough. But thanks to inefficient farming practices and poor land management, the nutrients in the rich soil of America’s farmland were slowly used up without being replaced.

Chemicals for Crops

Crop yields were falling and farmers were starving. Until a couple of chemical engineers stepped in back in 1913…

They came up with a process that allowed humans to create the nutrients our farmers needed that still bears their name — the Haber-Bosch process.

The process is a way of taking atmospheric nitrogen (which, as you’ll remember from my article last Friday, is inaccessible to plants but one of the nutrients they need to survive) and turning it into ammonia.

The ammonia can be spread on farmers’ fields and the plants can get access to that nitrogen they desperately need.

It was the first efficient process for nitrogen fixation, and it led to a boom in agriculture and probably saved the world from starvation.

It definitely helped our global population explode:

More Than “Just” Fertilizer

But ammonia isn’t just a great source of nitrogen for farmers’ crops. It’s also highly combustible. And it can be used as a zero-carbon fuel.

In fact, during WWI, the Germans used the Haber-Bosch process to create ammonia to use in explosives since the Allies had blockaded Chilean saltpeter.

And because it’s so combustible, nations and corporations around the globe are racing to implement it as a new fuel source for their massive fleets.

Maritime operations are jumping in with both feet to power massive container ships across the world’s oceans without emitting an ounce of carbon.

Trucking fleets are being converted to run on ammonia-based fuel, too.

They’ll be able to deliver those plastic forks you ordered from Amazon across the country without polluting any more than a bicycle messenger would.

Even airlines are hopping on board, because with few modifications, jets can use this kind of fuel too.

But there’s one HUGE catch…

Carbon-Neutral Fuel, Carbon-Intense Process

The fuel itself is carbon-neutral and emission-free. But the Haber-Bosch process is far from either.

You see, the process for turning nitrogen into ammonia requires immense pressure and heat straight from the pits of hell.

That’s accomplished by burning hydrogen in the form of methane gas. And methane gas is one of those pesky greenhouse gasses that’s bad for the environment.

It also requires massive chemical plants that sprawl across several acres, like this one:

So you really can’t call ammonia a “carbon-free” fuel source if the process to create it releases tons of carbon, can you?

A True Zero-Emission Solution

Well, that’s all about to change. Because after more than 100 years, a team of engineers has finally cracked the code to deliver actual clean, green ammonia-based fuels. 

And it’s accomplished that by “upgrading” the Haber-Bosch process.

It’s found a way to create ammonia from nothing but water and air and produce no emissions in the process.

A zero-emission fuel with zero emissions released to create it. Electric batteries can’t even claim that accolade.

And that’s why I’m convinced this company’s stock could be on the verge of a major rally…

One that could take it from mere pennies to hundreds of dollars in value. One that could make this tiny company the biggest force in the energy industry of the future.

And that’s why I want you to see the research my friend Alex shared with me a few days ago.

Once you see what Alex uncovered, you’re going to want to run, not walk, to pick up some shares.

I was impressed and I’m sure you will be too. So check out the company about to corner the transportation market with its emission-free fuel.

And keep your eyes out for more from me.

I’ll be back later this week with other ways for you to profit in this crazy market.

To your wealth,

It’s so important that the U.S. government spends more than $80 million on a set of clandestine military programs collectively called the “Black Budget.” Only a select group of insiders know all the details about it — and my colleague Jason Simpkins is trying to change that.
