GHG Mitigation Gap
How climate change, food security and agriculture intersect are critical to humanity’s future. People depend on food. Farmers and our planet need solutions now.
Agripower’s mission is to engage growers of food, fodder and fibre with an opportunity to decrease greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) associated with agriculture, and at the same time, increase productivity and profit.
Agrisilica® brings benefits and solutions to the challenge:
- Agrisilica® sustainably increases crop yields, crop quality and farmers profits
- Protects the environment while simultaneously
- Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and
- Increasing soil carbon and carbon sequestration
PAS | Know the difference
Agrisilica® has the highest commercial quantity of 100% natural Plant Available Silicon (PAS). This point of difference improves significantly on over 70 years of established silicon fertiliser use and value recognition. PAS-rich Agrisilica® is agriculture’s game-changer.

- Reduces agri-related N2O and CH4 emissions
Food Security & Safety
Soil Health
Crop Yield & Quality
Increasing crop yield, quality and profitability is every farmer’s goal. PAS is officially recognised by AAPFCO for its multiple-action beneficial efficacy. Agripower’s Agrisilica® has the highest PAS content of any commercial natural silicon fertiliser.
Sustainability
Crop Stress
Between 51%-82% of crops grown are lost annually due to crop stress. Reducing crop losses improve global food security targets, farmers incomes and the economies of poorer farming communities in particular. PAS brings solutions to crop losses caused by pests, pathogens and climatic extremes.
Silicon Science
The importance of silicon to crop production has been recognised for over 70 years. Agripower continues to invest in research and knowledge around PAS and the differentiating value-adds this 100% natural, safe and emissions free non- synthetic silicon fertiliser brings to agriculture and sustainable food production.

Differentiation in action - Photosynthesis + CO2
Leaves: the lungs and solar panels of plants
Differentiation in Action:
Carbon Sequestration
Via increased soil carbon and long-term storage of carbon in increased silicon phytoliths

Carbon Trading + Agrisilica®
1 Tonne of Agrisilica® can capture up to an additional 9 tonnes of Carbon
It is estimated that restoring soils could remove up to 5.5 billion tonnes of GHGs every year.
Soils play a key role in the carbon cycle by soaking up carbon from decaying plant matter. Plants absorb CO2 from the atmosphere via photosynthesis and exude excess carbon through their roots. When plants litter or die or are harvested, these remains decompose adding more carbon into the soil.
Agripower’s mission is to engage farmers with the opportunity to decrease GHGs, while increasing their crop yields, profitability and soil carbon.
