Technology Description:

Advanced Environmental Technologies is optimizing agronomic practices to increase the annual yield of nickel extracted from marginal soils. The modifications will focus on increasing the absorption of insoluble nickel, the biomass, and growth rate of metal-harvesting plants using sustainable nitrogen addition and carbonaceous amendments. If successful, the project will serve as an important source for the increasing mineral demands for lithium batteries.
