Ammonia is the ideal energy carrier.
We envision fitting into the high-voltage transmission grid as a sort of ‘kitchen sink’ for all surplus renewable energy. The energy storage capacity of Ammonia fuel is only really limited by the supply of renewable electricity, meaning we can ultimately purchase every single Megawatt-hour of surplus renewable generation in an entire ISO (Independent System Operator, or regional electric grid), and that we can purpose-build Gigawatt-scale projects to specifically feed our production in low-population areas where renewable resources are most abundant.
During peak generation events for renewable wind and solar, both intermittent resources, there is an oversupply of electrical generation capacity without sufficient demand. This overproduction causes grid instability, and market prices fall to rock-bottom. This in turn creates significant additional grid maintenance costs while simultaneously reducing operational revenues.
Our Ammonia/Hydrogen fuel will provide grid and market stability. Developing our technology will guarantee that the surplus power is efficiently captured, and in a form that can safely power everything from grid peaker plants, industrial furnaces, commercial shipping, cars, and even space-faring rocket ships.
Carbon-free fuels are our future.
Pure Hydrogen (H₂) would be an ideal fossil fuel replacement since it produces no emissions. However, it’s highly explosive as a gas, so transporting it safely requires extremely low temperatures, which is costly and difficult.
In contrast, Ammonia (NH₃) contains more Hydrogen than liquid Hydrogen, and can be safely moved under moderate conditions using existing pipelines and tankers. It can also be stored long-term without energy loss. Once at its destination, ammonia can be “cracked” to release pure Hydrogen for clean energy anytime, anywhere.
Renewable wind and solar power are inherently intermittent and unreliable, and cannot provide grid stability alone.
We need a carbon-free fuel that can provide consistent power everywhere, every hour, to cover the gaps that wind and solar alone can’t bridge. Battery storage can help, but current technologies can’t handle the scale required for reliable, grid-level, zero-carbon storage.
Moreover, solar and wind are often strongest in remote areas, far from the urban and industrial zones where power is needed. Transmitting that power over long distances would require major investments in grid infrastructure to connect these distant resources with consumption centers.
By producing ammonia—a liquid fuel easily transported using existing tankers, trucks, and pipelines—from surplus renewable power in rural areas, we can avoid costly upgrades to the electric grid. Our reactors can be located strategically to cut transmission and distribution costs, delivering renewable energy efficiently from where it’s produced to where it’s needed. Ammonia arrives as a versatile fuel that can be burned for industrial heat or converted back into electricity, enabling clean energy across all sectors and minimizing the changes needed for global decarbonization.
Ammonia offers a stable, carbon-free energy source without environmental harm.
Current ammonia production relies on the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process, which uses fossil fuels and emits significant greenhouse gases. Our new electrocatalytic method uses air, water, and renewable electricity to create ammonia with zero emissions. This distributed approach, located alongside renewable sites, makes ammonia affordable, even competing with fossil fuels without subsidies. Unlike short-term lithium storage, ammonia can be stored long-term and converted on demand to power grids, transportation, and more—enabling a global hydrogen economy.
