Revolutionizing green ammonia production
Ammonia is a critical resource, underpinning nearly half the world’s food supply. However, the conventional Haber-Bosch process for ammonia production contributes around 2% of global CO2 emissions and depends on vast, centralized production facilities and global supply chains. This approach not only contributes significantly to climate change but also leaves farmers vulnerable to supply chain disruptions and price fluctuations, especially as the demand for fertilizer continues to grow with food needs worldwide. With agriculture and related industries needing to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, a sustainable and decentralized solution is urgently needed.
What is the Solution?
NitroVolt is revolutionizing ammonia production with its innovative “Nitrolyzer” units, which empower farmers to produce green ammonia directly on-site. Using only air, water, and renewable electricity, each container-sized Nitrolyzer replaces the traditional, carbon-intensive Haber-Bosch process with a decentralized, zero-emission alternative. This approach allows farmers to produce ammonia exactly where it’s needed, avoiding reliance on extensive supply chains and creating a stable, cost-effective source of fertilizer, even in regions highly impacted by climate change.
NitroVolt’s solution goes beyond agriculture, holding the potential to decarbonize industries that currently rely on ammonia, thereby advancing global efforts toward net-zero targets. The Nitrolyzer units address two global challenges: sustainable fertilizer production and enhanced food system resilience. By providing an adaptable and scalable model, NitroVolt ensures farmers worldwide can access a dependable fertilizer source while reducing the 500 million tons of CO2 typically emitted through traditional ammonia production each year.

What EQT Foundation loves about NitroVolt
NitroVolt is tackling some of the biggest challenges of our time— worsening climate change, and rising food scarcity—by rethinking how we produce the resources that sustain life. They’ve cracked the chicken-and-egg dilemma: how do we feed the world without harming the planet in the process? Their answer is bold and innovative—an electrochemical approach that empowers farmers to grow crops sustainably, using a zero-emission alternative to traditional fertilizers. It’s not just about food security; it’s about ensuring future generations inherit a planet that can still thrive. NitroVolt is proving that feeding the world and reducing climate emissions of agriculture can go hand in hand.
