NITROCAPT AB

BRINGING A NOVEL ELECTRIFIED, MODULAR PRODUCTION OF NITROGEN FERTILIZERS TO THE MARKET

NITROCAPT AB is a company in european innovation council based in UPPSALA, founded in 2016.

Profile

The main objective of the EIC Accelerator project is to develop, deploy and scale up NitroCapt’s paradigm-shifting, climate-champion production process and to give the European industry access to efficient, innovative green technology offering the most competitive nitrogen fertilizers in large volumes. Today’s mineral nitrogen fertilizer production (Haber Bosch process) is an € 77 bn market and accounts for 2,7 % of the global fossil based greenhouse gas emissions, representing a major emission source of agriculture and food production.

SUNIFIX® (Sustainable Nitrogen Fixation) is a patented climate-neutral process for the fixation of nitrogen with air, water and electricity as the only inputs. The process combines a novel, state-of-the-art energy-efficient plasma reactor technology, cutting-edge electromagnetic energy coupling and advanced heat recovery technology, making it outperform the fossil-based process also regarding energy efficiency and production cost.

The process can operate on a variable power and is well suited for energy supply directly from renewable energy sources. By creating a local self-sufficient production of affordable nitrogen fertilizers, independent of remotely produced feedstocks, with high profits, there is significant incentive for a regional, distributed implementation of our technology with enormous positive climate impact.
