Ammobia Says it Has Reinvented a Century-Old Technology
Ammonia Breakthrough Could Slash Fertilizer Costs and Emissions Can a century-old industrial process finally get a green upgrade? Ammobia, a new cleantech startup, says yes—by re-engineering the Haber-Bosch method that’s fed the world since 1913. The company claims its innovation reduces ammonia production costs by up to 40%, while significantly cutting emissions. With $7.5 million in seed funding from heavyweights like Shell Ventures and Chevron Technology Ventures, Ammobia is betting it can make ammonia not just cheaper, but cleaner—and far more versatile.

Over half the nitrogen in our bodies originates from synthetic ammonia used in fertilizer. Without it, global food production would collapse. Yet the process that makes it—the Haber-Bosch reaction—is notoriously energy-intensive, responsible…
