Nium

Their patent pending, ‘Clean Ammonia on Demand’ system provides a scalable, efficient, effective, alternative. They reduce the pressure, temperature and overall energy in ammonia catalysis, removing the need for fossil fuels.

Clean Ammonia on Demand brings science backed benefits across multiple hard-to-abate sectors.

  • They can eliminate fertiliser emissions, 1.4%, 450 megatonnes of CO2 annually
  • They can eliminate a further 3% of maritime CO2 emissions by using green ammonia to power ships, instead of fossil fuels.
  • All while giving a versatile vector to green hydrogen energy as they race to decarbonise energy, steel, aviation and other critical industrial processes.

They decouple ammonia production from these fossil plants. Using renewable power and our novel nanocatalyst, they synthesise ammonia at a fraction of the price and pollution of traditional Haber-Bosch.

Their Green Ammonia Army of supporters and investors includes Agfunder, DCVC,  BMW Respond, Octopus Ventures, The Sustainable Markets Initiative, The Greenhouse, and Carbon13 – The Venture Builder for the Climate Emergency.
