🌱 About NitroCapt

NitroCapt is a climate-tech innovator revolutionizing one of the world’s largest chemical processes: The nitrogen fertilizer production. Using only air, water, and renewable energy, we create the world’s most sustainable and cost-efficient technology for fixation of nitrogen from the air to make fertilizers.

As global demand for food increases, nitrogen—essential for plant growth—plays a crucial role. However, today’s nitrogen fertilizer industry is heavily reliant on fossil fuels, contributing to CO2 emissions equivalent to those of the global aviation industry.

Our award-winning solution offers a rapid pathway to a decarbonized nitrogen fertilizer industry, providing a business model that not only reduces emissions but also increases profitability for our customers compared to fossil-based fertilizers, and contributes to a resilient food production.
