Transformational catalysts for low-cost sustainable ammonia and e-fuel production.

The Tough Tech problem we are solving

Certain sectors of our economy – including agriculture, shipping, and aviation – are responsible for billions of tons of carbon emissions annually but are difficult to decarbonize. Low- and zero-carbon ammonia and e-fuels could provide the solution, but they are too expensive.

About our solution

Copernic Catalysts leverages a proprietary computational design platform to develop catalysts that reduce the cost and carbon footprint of e-fuels and bulk chemicals. Copernic’s first catalyst product is a drop-in replacement for Haber-Bosch ammonia synthesis that has the potential to revolutionize the energy and agriculture industries by allowing for low-cost sustainable ammonia production at the largest scales.
