## About Ammobia

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Ammobia is developing a low-cost, low-pressure ammonia production technology (Haber-Bosch 2.0) that enables modular, energy-agnostic plants for fertilizer, fuel, and energy storage.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage; raised $15.9M total)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States (with a European subsidiary in Oslo, Norway)
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: Karen Baert (CEO) and Tristan Gilbert (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Chemical manufacturing / Clean energy / Industrial decarbonization
- **Target customers**: B2B – fertilizer companies, energy producers, and industrial ammonia users
- **Mission**: Deliver the world’s lowest-cost ammonia production technology, enabling economical production at any scale and from any energy source.

## Products & Services
- **Ammobia Reactor System**: A modular, low-pressure (30–60 bar vs. conventional 200+ bar) ammonia synthesis reactor that cuts capital expenditure by ~50% and overall production cost by 10–40%. The technology is feedstock-agnostic and optimized for low-carbon energy sources.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$15.9M** (as of January 2026 seed round)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Starlight Ventures, Collaborative Fund, Arosa Capital, **Shell Ventures**, **Air Liquide’s ALIAD**, **MOL Switch**, **Chevron Technology Ventures**, **Chiyoda Corporation**.
- **Growth Signals**:
  - 18 employees (distributed across US, Spain, Germany)

  - Successful proof-of-reactor concept (June 2024) and record-setting single-pass conversion after 250x scale-up
  - Winner of Shell’s New Energy Challenge
  - Moved into a new HQ in San Francisco to scale up and build a pilot plant

## Competitive Advantages
- **Low-pressure process** (30–60 bar vs. 200+ bar for conventional Haber-Bosch) – drastically lowers capital costs and enables modular deployment.
- **Modular, standardized units** that can be deployed in 100s of tonnes-per-day increments without billion-dollar plant investments.
- **Energy-agnostic** – compatible with renewable, natural gas, or other energy sources, making it suitable for low-carbon ammonia production.
- **Proprietary catalyst and reactor design** that achieves world-best single-pass conversion.

## Strategic Focus
- Scaling up from lab reactor to pilot plant (currently building a pilot facility in San Francisco).
- Preparing for commercial deployment in fertilizer and energy markets.
- Continuing to attract strategic investors from oil & gas and industrial gas sectors to accelerate go-to-market.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Small, mission-driven technical team (“the team behind Haber-Bosch 2.0”) with a focus on practical innovation and measurable impact.
- **Work environment**: On-site in San Francisco (new HQ designed for R&D and pilot plant operations); some remote flexibility may exist for certain roles.
- **Compensation & perks** (from careers page):
  - Above-market equity compensation
  - 100% coverage for health, vision, and life insurance (Gold tier)
  - Flexible PTO, end-of-year office closure, floating holidays
  - Fitness stipend for onsite gym
