BioNitrogen Corp., a clean energy company that builds non-hydrocarbon, environmentally friendly plants to convert residual agricultural and forestry biomass into urea fertilizer, announced today that it signed a term sheet for a $10 million investment supported by the Florida New Markets Capital Investment Program (NMTC).

The $10 million NMTC allocation is being provided through a subsidiary of Stonehenge Community Development, LLC. The investment will be in NMTC equity capital into a newly-formed subsidiary of BioNitrogen. The $10 million NMTC allocation will translate into a new cash investment of approximately $1.95 million for BioNitrogen.
