Haber-Bosch 2.0: Next-gen ammonia synthesis process

Ammonia is utilized in fertilizer production for global food systems, as a feedstock in plastics, polymers, rubbers and a maritime fuel in shipping industry. However, conventional industrial maufucturing of ammonia requires high temperature and pressure.

Ammobia is building a next-generation ammonia process (called “Haber-Bosch 2.0”) to make low-carbon ammonia from air and low-carbon H₂ with the goal of lowering energy, capex and emissions versus the century-old Haber–Bosch baseline — targeting fertilizer and decarbonized fuel markets. Their proprietary reactor and materials science allow operations at much lower pressure & temperature, with higher conversion (~4× single-pass conversion) than conventional Haber-Bosch. 

Key features of technology:

  • ~2× lower energy consumption
  • ~2× lower capex
  • Modular design enabling faster deployment
  • ~90% emission reduction compared to conventional ammonia with clean H₂ feedstock.
