Ammonia,

without compromise.

Clean ammonia for the energy transition.

Facet Amtech is developing a novel catalyst-enabled process designed to simplify clean ammonia production and reduce the cost and complexity that have held wider adoption back.

Why ammonia matters.

Central to agriculture, industry, and emerging clean fuel pathways
Conventional production remains heavily reliant on fossil fuels.
The world needs cleaner production, not less ammonia

Ammonia is one of the world’s most important industrial chemicals.

Clean ammonia will be vital — but only if it can be produced at industrial scale and at commercially viable cost.

What we do.

Facet Amtech is developing a breakthrough process to produce ammonia directly from water and air.

A new pathway for clean ammonia

Enabled by our proprietary catalyst and plant design, our approach is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of clean ammonia production while supporting industrial scalability. By simplifying the process architecture, we aim to unlock a more practical and commercially viable route to low-emissions ammonia.

The value of our approach.

Lower Complexity

Lower Cost

Greater Scalability

Traditional ammonia production faces a difficult trade-off: high emissions from incumbent processes, or cleaner alternatives that can be capital-intensive and difficult to scale.

Facet Amtech is working to change that through a process designed for:

Lower emissions — helping enable cleaner ammonia production for future demand

Why the industry needs change.

Ammonia producers are under increasing pressure from emissions, energy costs, regulation, and fossil fuel volatility.

The market does not just need cleaner ammonia. It needs a pathway that is commercially realistic, operationally scalable, and compatible with industrial deployment.

Facet Amtech is being built to help meet that need.
