Listen Later

EAH co-hosts Alicia Eastman and Patrick Molloy sat down with Karen Baert, the CEO and co-founder of Ammobia to learn about their high-efficiency innovation of the ammonia production process. We also discussed the role of ammonia and the challenges that clean tech innovators face.

About Karen Baert:

Karen has extensive experience across the sector having completed her Bachelors in Mechanical and Chemical Engineering in Brussels, Master in renewable energy at the Technical University Berlin, and MBA at Stanford University. Karen spent several years at Bain & Co., and worked with Breakthrough Energy Ventures, as well as Stanford GSB Impact fund, before co-founding Ammobia. Karen and her Co-founder and CTO are taking on the 100 year-old Haber Bosch process by developing their own reactor which offers potential for improved efficiencies in ammonia production with less emissions and lower capex.

About Ammobia:

Ammobia is developing Haber Bosch 2.0 - an innovative low cost, flexible process for clean ammonia production from clean hydrogen and air. They leverage the latest advances in materials science and catalysis to produce clean ammonia at low cost. Their processes and systems work across production scales and modes and they expect:

- to require one third the capex

- ⁠increased safety & flexibility (running directly on renewables)

- ⁠80-90% lower emissions

- ⁠10x reduction in pressure

- ⁠150°C reduction in temperature

US-based Ammobia closed an oversubscribed, US$4.2 million funding round in April. Led by Starlight Ventures and including Collaborative Fund, Chevron Technology Ventures, Arosa Capital, Zero Infinity Partners, R7, DNX Ventures and Plug and Play Tech Center, the funds will support a 1000x scale-up of Ammobia’s next-generation synthesis technology.
