Slide 2: Nitrogen is part of the NPK triad of macronutrients
Nitrogen is part of the NPK triad that make up the vital macronutrients for plants. Phosphorus (P): Flower, fruit and Potassium (K): root growth Overall health and growth Nitrogen (N): Green growth
Slide 3: Essential building block for amino acids, proteins, and DNA
Essential building block for amino acids, proteins, and DNA. Important for plant growth, metabolism, and chlorophyll synthesis.
Slide 4: Composition of inhaled air
Composition of inhaled air 1% 21% 78% Nitrogen Oxygen Others
Slide 5: Atmospheric nitrogen differs from synthetic nitrogen used for plants
However, atmospheric nitrogen is not in the same than synthetic nitrogen used for plant nutrition: Nitrate (NO3 ) or ammonium (NH4 ). - + O H O N N H H O H
Slide 6: Production of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers
Production of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers = Source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
Slide 7: Total urea footprint in LatAm
Fertilizers Europe has commissioned a tool for estimating the carbon footprint related to the production of selected fertilizer products. Producing 1 tonne of urea = 0.84 tonnes of CO2 equivalent Total urea footprint in LatAm : 1 1.746 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of urea 1 All emissions with GWP (Global
Slide 8: Application of synthetic N fertilizers
Application of synthetic N fertilizers = The most important factor contributing to direct nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from agricultural soils
Slide 9: N2O = CO2 x 298
N2O = CO2 x 298 Global warming potential over a 100-year timeframe
Slide 10: Up to 75% of crop production GHG emissions from nitrogen fertilizers
Up to 75% of the total GHG emission in crop production stemmed from the use of Nitrogen fertilizers.

Slide 12: Main source of nitrogen in Brazilian agriculture is urea
The main source of Nitrogen in Brazilian agriculture is urea.
Slide 13: Urea has low use efficiency due to ammonia volatilization
But, despite that, urea has low use efficiency under field conditions due to its high susceptibility to losses, mostly caused by the ammonia (NH3) volatilization.

Slide 15: Proprietary processing technology for glauconitic siltstone
Proprietary processing technology for glauconitic siltstone that alters its physical-chemical properties to enable ammonia retention for use as a calibrated additive in nitrogen fertilizers.
Slide 16: Cationic exchange of glauconite with NH4+ ions
It accentuates the negative These unbalanced anions allow correlations in the glauconite grains, cationic exchanges between the indicating cationic substitutions potassium present in interlayers giving to the mineral the of glauconite with NH4+ ions characteristics of an anion. present in the soil.
Slide 17: Additive to reduce nitrogen losses
K Forte®, processed with the N Keeper® technology, was evaluated in an independent research as an additive to reduce nitrogen losses by ammonia volatilization in nitrogen fertilizers.
Slide 18: K Forte effectiveness in preventing soil nitrogen loss
The research has demonstrated the effectiveness of K Forte® in preventing soil nitrogen from being lost to the atmosphere.
Slide 19: 10% to 27% reduction in ammonia volatilization
Mitigation of reactions and loss processes 10% to 27% reduction in ammonia volatilization Increase in agronomic efficiency for the use of urea in agriculture Optimization of Nitrogen fertilization
Slide 20: Low environmental impact, low cost N Keeper
With low environmental impact and low cost for farmers , N Keeper® represents an important advance of agricultural technologies in the fight against climate change.
Slide 21: Customers and the environment can already benefit
The Company’s customers and the environment can already benefit from the improvements enabled by the technology.
Slide 22: Plant 2 to add nitrogen to BAKS
For Plant 2, the Company will be able to add nitrogen to BAKS®, further increasing the benefits for the N Keeper® technology.
