Jupiter Ionics

PIONEERING CLEAN AGRICULTURE, ENERGY
AND TRANSPORT WITH GREEN AMMONIA

For over a century, every tonne of ammonia produced using current industrial processes generates on average more than 2 tonnes of CO_2. Ammonia, however, is a central component in fertiliser production - in many ways, it literally puts food on the table. Jupiter Ionics is transforming this narrative with their breakthrough electrochemical cell that produces ‘green ammonia’ using only water, air, and renewable energy, eliminating CO₂ emissions entirely.

Utilised predominantly as fertiliser in agriculture, which accounts for about 80% of global ammonia production, this green ammonia also promises to revolutionise transport, shipping, and aviation by serving as a clean fuel source. This innovation not only enhances energy storage capabilities but also boosts the export potential of renewable energy.

As we transition towards a net-zero economy, ammonia’s role is becoming increasingly vital. Jupiter Ionics is leading this charge, scaling their pioneering technology to meet a rapidly growing market currently valued at $70 billion and expected to quadruple by 2050. With strategic production plans to accelerate the scale up of a self-contained system that takes in water, air and renewable energy and produces ammonia, Jupiter is well-positioned to capitalise on this growth.
