Clean Ammonia Production

Unlocking the Future of Clean Ammonia and Hydrogen

The hydrogen economy is rapidly gaining momentum, with the global hydrogen fuel market projected to exceed $1.4 trillion by 2050. A critical enabler of this growth is ammonia, which serves as the safest and most efficient hydrogen carrier. It is not only a clean energy vector but can also be directly converted back into hydrogen using our proprietary technology.

The ammonia market itself is projected to surpass $110 billion by 2028, driven by its pivotal role in solving key challenges in the hydrogen value chain—including high production costs, equipment failure, and difficulties in storage and transportation. With its high hydrogen density and low fire hazard, ammonia offers superior safety and efficiency for global hydrogen distribution.

For over a century, ammonia has been produced at industrial scale using the Haber-Bosch (HB) process, which relies on high temperatures, high pressures, and fossil fuels—resulting in significant CO₂ emissions. Due to these constraints, HB is only economically viable at large production volumes (>1500 tons/day).

In contrast, our innovative electrodeless microwave plasma technology represents a paradigm shift:

  1. Operates at atmospheric pressure, eliminating the need for costly high-pressure infrastructure.
  2. Uses a nitrogen microwave plasma torch to split steam and generate hydrogen.
  3. The generated hydrogen reduces intermediate nitric oxides (NO) in the presence of a catalyst to produce ammonia.
  4. The system is powered by a solid-state power amplifier (SSPA)—offering stability, scalability, and energy efficiency.
  5. The process can ultimately lead to net-negative carbon emissions through the production of urea as a value-added end product.
 
Our mWave plasma-catalyst-assisted system enables modular, medium- to large-scale ammonia production using steam, air, and renewable electricity—positioning us to address one of the most pressing challenges in the hydrogen economy: safe, scalable, and low-carbon hydrogen storage and transport.

This breakthrough technology not only reduces energy consumption compared to other green ammonia methods (such as SOEC and alkaline electrolysis), but also offers a compelling economic and environmental value proposition for investors and partners ready to shape the future of clean energy.
