About the project
What we are going to build here in Hopkinsville is something unique. Here, Cinis Fertilizer will manufacture the world’s most sustainable mineral fertilizer from residual products from advanced engineered battery materials. We will use traditional and proven process technology powered by fossil-free electricity. Our end product, potassium sulfate, will be an important contribution to the green transformation of agriculture.
The production method that Cinis Fertilizer will use is known as the Glaserite process and has been around since the 1950s. This method of producing SOP is well proven and the technical risk associated with it is low.
What's going on:
Agreements with key partners signed.
Pre-design initiated.
