A Drop-in HB Catalyst to Reduce Synloop OpEx by up to 47%
Presentation

Copernic Catalysts, a Boston-based startup, has leveraged its proprietary discovery platform to develop a drop-in base-metal HB synthesis catalyst that strongly outperforms the best catalysts on the market under mild operating conditions. We are looking for partners in ammonia production/reactor design that are interested in testing our transformational catalyst technology.

Sunborne reborn!
Presentation

Despite successfully demonstrating 56kW of controlled combustion of partially cracked ammonia in October 2023, Sunborne Systems was unable to secure Series A funding at the beginning of 2024. Since then, the co-founders have secured UK government funding to tackle two of the challenges set out for Series A funding: to further develop their patented catalysts and to address issues associated with ammonia slippage and NOx emissions. Future opportunities will be discussed.

Jupiter Ionics – scaling Lithium-mediated nitrogen reduction for Green Ammonia
Presentation

The Lithium-mediated pathway is one of the most promising avenues to Green Ammonia production at near-ambient temperatures and pressures, lending itself to a more decentralized production model than traditional chemistries. In this talk Dr Day will provide an update on the scale-up and commercialization of Jupiter Ionics’ electrochemical ammonia process, which builds on the foundational research of Prof Douglas Macfarlane at Monash University.

Ammonia for Boilers in Rural Locations
Presentation

Currently ~4.5 million tonnes of oil are consumed in the off-mains industrial market annually in the UK. These energy-intensive processes contribute to point source emissions of 14.2 MtCO2/y. Businesses and industries in these locations often cannot rely solely on electricity to satisfy their process heating requirements. Decarbonisation of these sites therefore presents a significant and pressing challenge. Therefore, the Amburn project will develop and demonstrate a 1 MW ammonia-fed steam boiler to help decarbonise off-grid businesses across the UK. Funded by the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero as part of the UK Government’s £55m Industrial Fuel Switching Competition,…
