Sustainable Natural Power Life Project

The NATURAL POWER LIFE project aims at sustainably replacing hazardous herbicides and biocides with pelargonic acid-based products produced from renewable sources and thus reducing the impact of synthetic herbicides and biocides on the environment.

Project Objectives

Extend to the European market two broad-spectrum herbicides based on pelargonic acid, one for non-crop amenities and one for agricultural activities.

Introduce a new formulation of broad-spectrum biocide based on pelargonic acid.

agricultural field

The NATURAL POWER LIFE project aims at sustainably replacing hazardous herbicides and biocides with pelargonic acid-based products produced from renewable sources, thus reducing the impact of synthetic herbicides and biocides on the environment.

Sustainable Natural Power Life Project

agricultural field

All three products are produced from vegetable oil, following a standardized process that does not use ozone in the oxidative cleavage reaction of the vegetable oil.

About Our Products

The application of pelargonic acid-based herbicide for agricultural activities (to vegetable crops, grape, potato, orchards, and arrable crops) will be executed in Southern and Central Europe.​

Pelargonic Acid-Based Herbicide For Agricultural Activities

The application of the pelargonic acid-based herbicide for non-crop amenities (municipalities, industrial areas, roads, railways, and other non-cultivated areas) will be executed in Southern and Central Europe. 

Pelargonic Acid-Acid Based Herbicide For Non-Crop Amenities

The performance of the pelargonic acid-based biocide will be demonstrated to initiate pre-marketing activities and launch its large-scale production.

Pelargonic Acid-Based Biocide

The project has thus the following long-term sustainability goals.

Long-Term Sustainability Goals

Industrial area

The project aims at sustainably replacing hazardous herbicides and biocides with pelargonic acid-based products

Project Summary

The project has 6 Work packages, that include project management, evaluation of new biocide formulation, etc.

Work Packages

The project consortium aims to achieve two key objectives and ensure the successful implementation.

Objectives and Impact

About Project

NATURAL POWER LIFE

To demonstrate the replicability of the product application in different geographical areas and for different applications.

Goal ONE

To raise awareness of social and economic opportunities among stakeholders in value chains at all levels (from farmers to municipalities to citizens) and drive the route for the future exploitation of the project results.

Goal THREE

To assess the environmental, economic, and social sustainability of the products.

Goal TWO
