NATURAL POWER LIFE
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 Summary
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.
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.
Pelargonic Acid-Based Herbicide
The application of the pelargonic acid-based herbicide for non-crop amenities and agricultural activities will be executed in Southern and Central Europe.

Arable crops
For Agricultural Actvities
The project has the following long-term sustainability goals.
Long Term Sustainability Goals
Pelargonic Acid-Based Biocide
The performance of the pelargonic acid-based biocide will be demonstrated to initiate pre-marketing activities and launch its large-scale production.
The Performance
Goal ONE
To demonstrate the replicability of the product application in different geographical areas and for different applications.
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
