Our mission is to realize humanity’s sustainable future by improving access to food and fuel for all. We do this by producing green ammonia -- the building block for all synthetic fertilizers -- from renewable electricity, water, and air. Today, we’re building a distributed network of modular green ammonia systems across the world.

We produce reliable, carbon-free ammonia for our partners at a fraction of the current market price. We offer fertilizer on tap, on farm, at half the price. Our first systems are in Kenya, Spain, and the US. In the future, our platform will improve access to locally produced renewable energy and alternative fuels in communities around the world.
