Funding for novel ammonia energy tech: catalysts, Sorption-enhanced synthesis for modular Haber-Bosch, and Calcium-mediated synthesis

Geofrey Njovu February 25, 2026

Ammobia has raised $7.5 million for its modular Haber Bosch 2.0 technology, combining proprietary catalysts and sorbents for low-temperature ammonia synthesis. In New Zealand, Liquium has raised NZ$2 million to validate its novel ammonia synthesis catalysts under industrial conditions. And US-based geNH₃ has also raised seed funding for its patented Calcium-mediated technology for ammonia synthesis, targeting 5 kg per day production capacity by mid-April.

2025: an ammonia energy rollercoaster

Julian Atchison December 17, 2025

Despite the successes and progress made in 2025, the year remains a missed opportunity for ammonia energy. The first complete supply chains for renewable ammonia are emerging, and some 600,000 tons of annual production capacity is set to be online in northeast China early next year. Maritime engines, cracking, and power & heat technology solutions also made their mark, moving from feasibility into deployment. But disappointing outcomes at the IMO and government support that failed to spark market development remains an issue, with plenty of critical, detail-heavy work ahead of us in 2026.

Status of renewable ammonia projects and technology licensors

Kevin Rouwenhorst November 18, 2025

One of the key steps in project development remains the selection of the licensor for the renewable ammonia synthesis loop. We explore different technology offerings from leading licensors – including KBR, Topsoe, Thyssenkrupp Uhde, Casale, Stamicarbon, and GoodChina – as well as the growing list of projects where they are being deployed.

Ammonia Synthesis - Local, Clean and Green

Yossi Englander

GenCell has developed a novel approach to decentralized green ammonia synthesis relying on intermittent renewable energy. We will present a summary of our experience to date developing a technology and device relying on electrochemical ammonia synthesis from water and air, operating at ambient conditions and suggesting a sustainable and clean alternative to the traditional Haber-Bosch process.
