Ammobia

On a mission
to feed and fuel our world
with clean ammonia

Why clean ammonia?

Ammonia plays a crucial role in many industries as the world’s second most produced chemical. Today’s ammonia production is energy-intensive and relies heavily on fossil fuels like natural gas and coal, making it a significant source of CO2 emissions (2% of global emissions). Clean ammonia production from renewable energy sources can drastically reduce these emissions and help combat climate change.

The attributes of ammonia make it an attractive energy carrier and fuel:

Ammonia contains no carbon atoms and can be burnt or processed as a zero-carbon fuel.
Ammonia is easily liquefiable and energy dense, and therefore cost-effective to transport and store.

How is Ammobia making a difference?

Ammobia’s Haber Bosch 2.0 technology is a clean ammonia production process.

Ammobia’s technology enables
the decarbonization of a range of industries

Clean fertilizer
for agriculture

Ammonia(-derived) fertilizers play a crucial role in global food supply.

This market, worth about 200 billion dollars, relies on natural gas and coal as a feedstock and is responsible for about 2% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Ammobia’s technology has the potential to cost-effectively reduce emissions by 80-90% .

Clean fuel
for maritime shipping

90% of all traded goods are transported across the sea.

The global shipping industry is responsible for ~2.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Clean ammonia is one of the most promising clean fuels to replace highly-polluting maritime fuel oils.

Clean feedstock
for chemicals industry

20% of ammonia produced globally is used to manufacture plastics, polymers, rubber and fiber-based products.

Clean ammonia can cut the
carbon footprint of the end product
by up to 50% without requiring
significant change to the
manufacturing process.

Ammobia in Forbes

Nov 28, 2023
Ammobia was featured in Forbes’ article “This year’s young entrepreneurs are increasingly focused on their startups’ social and environmental impact.”

A different approach to sustainability comes from Karen Baert, 29, and Tristan Gilbert, 25, who founded Ammobia to produce low-cost green ammonia. The world currently produces around 175 million tons of ammonia each year, mostly for use as fertilizer, and its energy-intensive production produces massive volumes of greenhouse gas. San Francisco-based Ammobia has raised $5 million for its cleaner version.

Co-founders in Forbes 30u30 Manufacturing & Industry

Nov 28, 2023
Karen Baert and Tristan Gilbert founded Ammobia to produce low-cost green ammonia. The world currently produces around 175 million tons of ammonia per year, mostly for use as fertilizer, employing an energy-intensive, century-old industrial process that produces a lot of greenhouse gas. The industry is responsible for about 1 to 2% of global carbon emissions, making it one of the dirtiest on the planet. Baert and Gilbert are working to enable ammonia as a clean chemical, fertilizer, and energy carrier to support a decarbonized future. Their year-old company has raised $5 million.
