Green Fertilizer Made with Air and Plasma: NitroCapt (Sweden) wins $2M Food Planet Prize 2025 for developing low-emission fertilizers
STOCKHOLM, June 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Curt Bergfors Foundation is honored to announce that NitroCapt was awarded the Food Planet Prize, the world's biggest environmental award, on June 13 in Stockholm, Sweden. This recognition highlights their exceptional contributions and potential to disrupt the global nitrogen fertilizer industry. Nitrogen fertilizers are used for 50% of the world's food production and emit as much carbon dioxide as the aviation industry. Sweden-based NitroCapt has developed a novel, energy-efficient process that makes fertilizer through plasma-produced nitrate. NitroCapt's technology could improve access to green fertilizer across the world. In awarding the Prize to NitroCapt, the Food Planet Prize jury Co-Chair Johan Rockström commented: 'Through NitroCapt's innovation, nitrogen fertilizer can now be produced by splitting nitrogen from the air with plasma technology simply needing green electricity as input. This technology reduces the use of energy tenfold, can be produced locally, avoids fossil-fuels entirely, while producing a nitrate fertilizer that can improve soil health and may be used sustainably by farmers across the world.' Gustaf Forsberg, CEO and Founder of NitroCapt, added: 'NitroCapt's mission is to decarbonize the nitrogen fertilizer industry. The current fossil-based process has reached its end point. We can also contribute to increased food production in areas that today have difficulties producing sufficient amounts. We are just about to finalize our industrial-scale pilot, and we have fertilizer in the field, but we're still not at the scale where we want to be. This Prize will be very important for us to bring our technology to the stage where we can start making a difference.' About the Food Planet Prize The Curt Bergfors Food Planet Prize was established in Sweden in 2019, in acknowledgement of the perils that our current food systems pose to the health of people and the planet. The Prize supports initiatives that significantly reduce the environmental impact of the way we eat today. Unlike many awards, the Food Planet Prize recognizes initiatives for their potential future impact on the environment rather than past achievements. The Food Planet Prize's international jury consists of 10 leading specialists in complex Food Planet challenges. The jury is co-chaired by Johan Rockström and Magnus Nilsson.

CureLab Veterinary's ElenaVet™ Gene Therapy Delivers 90% Success in Pet-Dog Osteoarthritis Study
Frontiers in Veterinary Science paper reports rapid, significant pain relief with weekly p62-plasmid injections and no significant side-effects BOSTON, June 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — CureLab Veterinary Inc., a pioneer in developing innovative veterinary therapeutics to combat cancer and inflammatory diseases in pets, announced publication of a peer-reviewed pilot study demonstrating that ElenaVet™, the company's investigational p62-plasmid gene therapy, markedly reduced chronic osteoarthritis (OA) pain in companion dogs while exhibiting an excellent safety profile. The article, titled 'Efficacy of p62-expressing plasmid in treatment of canine osteoarthritis pain: a pilot study,' appears in Frontiers in Veterinary Science (DOI 10.3389/fvets.2025.1519881). Key findings 17 client-owned dogs with radiographically confirmed OA received 1 mg intramuscular ElenaVet™ once a week for 10 weeks. Pain Severity Score (PSS) fell from 5.25 → 3.25 and Pain Interference Score (PIS) from 7.0 → 3.27 on the Canine Brief Pain Inventory (CBPI). 90% of dogs met the study's pre-defined 'treatment success' criteria (≥1-point PSS drop and ≥2-point PIS drop). Quality-of-life ratings of 'good/excellent' rose from 1 to 12 dogs. First owner-noticed improvements occurred within 2–4 weeks; scores plateaued by week 6. No significant adverse events—no vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, or lab abnormalities—were reported during treatment. Executive & scientific commentary'ElenaVet™ has now shown—in a rigorous, peer-reviewed setting—that a weekly gene-based therapy can deliver meaningful, durable pain relief without the organ-toxicity risks of long-term NSAID use,' said Robert Devlin, general manager of CureLab Veterinary. 'These results put us on a clear path toward larger, controlled trials and eventual U.S. approval.' 'The p62 plasmid dampens multiple inflammatory pathways simultaneously,' added Vladimir Gabai, PhD, chief science officer and lead author of the study. 'Because we encode p62 in a simple plasmid, we can administer a low-dose injection that teaches muscle cells to make the dog's own anti-inflammatory agent—no complex biologic manufacturing or cold chain required.' Addressing a widespread unmet needOsteoarthritis affects an estimated one in five adult dogs; chronic use of standard NSAIDs can raise blood pressure, cause gastric ulcers and, in some cases, damage kidneys or liver. ElenaVet™ aims to offer a safer, compliance-friendly alternative—potentially as monthly or 'as-needed' injections, once dose-frequency optimization studies are complete. Next stepsCureLab Veterinary has initiated discussions with the USDA Center for Veterinary Biologics (CVB) to finalize pivotal study protocols assessing dose range, durability of effect and long-term safety. With adequate funding, the company anticipates submitting a licensing application within 2–3 years. About ElenaVet™ElenaVet™ is a circular DNA plasmid encoding the SQSTM1/p62 protein, delivered via intramuscular injection. The therapy is designed to up-regulate the body's own anti-inflammatory mediators, providing multimodal relief from chronic inflammatory conditions such as osteoarthritis. About CureLab Veterinary Veterinary Inc. is a pioneering biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing innovative cancer treatments for pets.
