At Habitat Energy, our mission is to help farming economics and environmental outcomes by producing sustainable, affordable, locally made liquid fertilizers.

Together, we can make a meaningful difference in agriculture.

A commercial greenhouse being heated by a micro-digester is an “energy habitat” - fully capable of providing local heat and power to farming communities as well as bringing fertilizer production back to the farm-gate.

Every nutrient applied should end up in the crop. That standard drives Habitat Energy. Over a decade ago, our founder began developing innovative ways to create slow- and controlled-release fertilizers from natural materials, designed to reduce nutrient losses and improve farm performance. However, it takes complex processes and high costs to make these solid fertilizers, and a fertilizer that no one can afford isn’t going to have any impact on helping farms manage nutrient losses. Habitat’s core mission is tackling this challenge head-on by building systems that produce affordable, locally made fertilizers. Our goal is to help farmers capture more value from every input.

Fertilizer is essential for yields—but its history also shows the potential we can find in local resources. Farmers have used manure for thousands of years, while synthetic fertilizers like ammonia and urea have only been common in the U.S. for about a century. Today, we consume ~15 million metric tons of synthetic nitrogen annually. Yet national livestock manure production exceeds 1.5 billion tons per year—containing enough nitrogen to replace current synthetic use fully. To achieve its mission, Habitat will harness this resource in a new way and bring advanced fertilizer production back to farm communities. We believe that reducing dependence on synthetic inputs hundreds of miles away is a key to strengthening agricultural resilience.

Fertilizers must meet strict specifications and provide guaranteed analyses to be effective tools for farmers. Habitat is developing low-strength liquid fertilizers for temporary bulk storage on-site, giving farms an on-demand option and maximum control. Delivered through irrigation and drip systems, these fertilizers can enable precise nutrient management. Our dilute 1:1:1 formulations broaden nutrient coverage, lower risks compared to high-strength options, and are more economical to produce. By staging fertilizers directly at the farm, Habitat empowers growers with reliable, flexible, and affordable nutrient access. One of our metrics of success will be creating fertilizers that can adapt to fit what a farm needs while working with modern farming systems, not against them.

Liquid Fertilizers

Liquid fertilizer is delivered directly to the farm and stored in a bladder until needed. Dilute 1:1:1 formulations with humic and fulvic acids, micronutrients, and active soil microbes will be the primary product. These will be stable suspensions meeting strict specifications and providing guaranteed analyses. They will also be certified organic.

Soil Amendments

Broken down manure is rich in humic and fulvic acids as well as other key soil-building components. These biogas systems will generate significant levels of soil amendment, which can be optimized for micro-aggregate formation, helping build healthy soils.

Heat & Power

Leveraging the heat output of biogas digesters to heat greenhouses creates a valuable horticulture footprint and improves the economics of biogas production. By using the biogas for local process heat or local power production, this energy source can provide meaningful benefits to the surrounding community.
