NitroFix develops an electrolyzer that transforms water and air into ammonia using a proprietary catalyst licensed from the Weizmann Institute. Its catalyst works submerged in water, allowing hydrogen to be generated and consumed in the same container and removing a separate hydrogen-production step. The company has moved the catalyst from a suspended powder to a fixed cathode panel roughly one square foot in size and is focused on improving cathode performance while outsourcing other electrolyzer components. With its cathode, NitroFix can produce one metric ton of ammonia using nine megawatt-hours of electricity, with other plant operations adding roughly one additional megawatt-hour. The startup plans to work with another company to produce completed electrolyzers and to target customers in regions with high natural gas costs as well as firms that might prefer on-site production, such as pharmaceutical and food manufacturers. NitroFix was a finalist in TechCrunch Disrupt 2024’s Startup Battlefield and is preparing the technology for industrial use.
