NITROFIX ACHIEVES TRL 4 🦾 TECH VALIDATED IN LAB

 Our scientists successfully generated ammonia with zero emissions in the lab using a pre-prototype 25 cm2 flow cell, X2.5 times larger than our previous cell. This milestone demonstrates our ability to manufacture ammonia anywhere using only water and air. The next step is scaling up by X10 !!! to a  250 cm2 cell.

"I am extremely proud of our team; it is their unwavering dedication and passion that led to this momentous achievement. We’re all inspired by a vision for the future that started in Prof. Ronny Neumann’s lab - A decentralized solution that circumvents geopolitics and affords anyone with our technology on-demand      production and equitable access to green ammonia.”
- CEO of NitroFix, Dr. Ophira Melamed

Insights From The 7th European Power to Ammonia® Conference

Rotterdam, Netherlands

The NH3 Event draws world's leading ammonia scientists, developers, offtakers, and policy makers to share technological advancements, business cases, and opportunities, as well as forge pathways to overcome regulatory and operational roadblocks.

Ammonia as a hydrogen carrier and maritime fuel was the hottest topic by far, driven by the IMO’s target to achieve 100% zero-emissions shipping by 2050.

💡 Top Insights:

  • Cost will be a key factor in enabling the transition from fossil fuels to green ammonia.
  • Electrochemical solutions lead. Several startups are developing technology to produce green ammonia. Among them, electrochemical solutions stand out as the most sustainable.

NitroFix is the only company with a single-step process that operates on low energy and can produce affordable, commercial NH3 within the urgent climate timeframe.

  • The market is preparing. Dual fuel (NH3-Diesel) vessel engines (Wärtsilä), as well as 100% low-carbon ammonia-powered container ships (Yara Eide), are expected in the market by 2026. New NH3 infrastructure, such as bunkering (>50 projects), are in advanced stages of development.
  • Public perception is crucial to adoption. All stakeholders are promoting transparent communication with the public regarding the risks and mitigation measures as a top priority, in concert with highlighting the immense benefits of green ammonia for civilization and the climate. A common belief is thatas technology progresses in the coming years, so will widespread knowledge about safety measures that have been in place for decades.
  • Ammonia cracking technologies (NH3 > H2 > Power) are seeing growth, with multiple startups demonstrating high throughput applications.
