Nium
We're Nium ๐ ๐๐๐ฌ (pronounced Nee-Yum) We're nanoscientists, engineers and entrepreneurs: a team and technology built to eliminate emissions at scale. Nium was born at Carbon13, Cambridge in Spring 2022. Our nanocatalytic solutions were developed by our CTO over 2 years at the UK synchrotron facility, Diamond Light Source. Why Ammonia? Ammonia is a building block to our lives, precursor to half of global food, a key to a cleaner future of food and fuel. But Ammonia production is dirty - the most polluting chemical industrial process on the planet - 96% of it depends on the century-old Haber-Bosch process, and relies on burning fossil fuels. Our patent pending, 'Clean Ammonia on Demand' system provides a scalable, efficient, effective, alternative. We reduce the pressure, temperature and overall energy in ammonia catalysis, removing the need for fossil fuels. Clean Ammonia on Demand brings science backed benefits across multiple hard-to-abate sectors. * We can eliminate fertiliser emissions, 1.4%, 450 megatonnes of CO2 annually * We can eliminate a further 3% of maritime CO2 emissions by using clean ammonia to power ships, instead of fossil fuels. *All while giving a versatile vector to green hydrogen energy as we race to decarbonise energy, steel, aviation and other critical industrial processes. Why 'On Demand?' Today the majority of the ammonia we use is made in China and Russia at massive industrial plants burning coal, gas and oil. We decouple ammonia production from these fossil plants. Using renewable power and our novel nanocatalyst, we synthesise ammonia at a fraction of the price and pollution of traditional Haber-Bosch. Our Clean Ammonia Army of supporters and investors includes Agfunder, DCVC, BMW Respond, Octopus Ventures, The Sustainable Markets Initiative, The Greenhouse, and Carbon13 - The Venture Builder for the Climate Emergency. #Ammonia #GreenAmmonia #GreenAmmoniaOnDemand #Nium #WeareNium
