Our vision

Through NUNOS, we aim to establish regional and efficient nutrient cycles to make agriculture more sustainable and resilient to the challenges of climate change.

We believe that future generations will be able to enjoy the same variety and quality of food that we do today – without major restrictions due to climate change. With innovative approaches and a clear focus on sustainability, we want to help shape the agriculture of tomorrow.

Our story

NUNOS is a spin-off of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) based in Cologne. Our technology was originally developed for the recycling of nitrogen-containing wastewater in closed habitats such as lunar or Martian stations. It enables astronauts to cultivate fresh food in greenhouses by converting (human) urine into plant fertilizer – even in the most remote corners of space.

The pressing challenges on earth, such as the ongoing nitrate pollution of groundwater and the increasing extreme weather conditions caused by climate change, prompted us to further develop the process and adapt it specifically for the treatment of cattle manure and digestate.

Our goal: space research with direct benefits for the Earth – so that innovations from the future can revolutionize agriculture today.

Our Mission

Our mission is to help farmers and greenhouse operators optimize resource use through innovative technologies while reducing mineral fertilizers and harmful emissions. With our expertise in biological manure processing, we offer solutions that are not only economically beneficial but also promote ecologically sustainable practices. Our goal is to strengthen rural areas, preserve jobs, and ensure the competitiveness of agricultural businesses.

Why Nunos?

Nunos is more than a technology provider – we are a partner who works with you to develop solutions to meet the challenges of modern agriculture. We offer scientifically sound, yet practically implementable solutions that help farmers and greenhouse operators use resources efficiently while minimizing environmental impact. biological treatment of manure and digestate We enable the production of highly effective, natural fertilizers that reduce nitrogen emissions and improve soil fertility.

Our vision is to transform agriculture sustainably – through technologies that close nutrient cycles, conserve resources and at the same time strengthen the competitiveness of farms. Nunos GmbH
