The ammonia production via nitrogen-fixing functionality of legumes in symbiosis with Rhizobia bacteria revolutionizes the Haber-Bosch process and its environmental hazards. We, including Dr. Neshat Rahimpour, are working on the feasibility of this idea. The design and development of models and measurement systems facilitate the implementation of this smart circular bioeconomy system.
