<p>In this episode, Professor PJ Cullen, Chemical Engineering expert from the University of Sydney, breaks down the global nitrogen challenge. We explore why nitrogen is essential for life, the history of fertiliser—from the Guano Wars to the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process—and how today's nitrogen production is harming the planet. Cullen introduces Plasma Leap, his startup using non-thermal plasma to mimic lightning and fix nitrogen sustainably. We also dive into the risks of nitrogen storage, the 2020 Beirut explosion, and the urgent need to electrify chemical industries—especially in regions facing a nitrogen crisis, like Africa.</p> <p><a href= "https://www.plasmaleap.com/">https://www.plasmaleap.com/</a>  Linkedin: PJ Cullen</p>
