About Ammobia

Ammobia is on a mission to revolutionize the ammonia industry. We are a seed-stage startup developing Haber Bosch 2.0 – a next-generation ammonia synthesis process enabling cost-effective and clean ammonia production. Our proprietary swing reactor system operates at 10x lower pressures and achieves 4x higher conversions than the current state of the art, allowing economical production at any plant scale or energy source.

Clean ammonia will support ammonia’s growing role in a decarbonized world, addressing sectors like chemicals, fertilizers, and heavy-duty transportation. We are supported by leading climate tech organizations including Starlight Ventures, the US Department of Energy, Collaborative Fund, Third Derivative, Forbes 30u30, and more.
