Converting nitrogen oxide (Nox) emissions into renewable ammonia.
OzAmmonia’s patented electrolyser converts nitrogen oxide (Nox) emissions into renewable ammonia – a fertiliser and fuel – and halves waste gas treatment costs. Its expert team is building a future powered by carbon-free fuels like ammonia, which will transform NOx into a key resource rather than a pollutant.

OzAmmonia converts harmful NOx emissions into ammonia using its patented electrolyser system. Its technology prevents emissions at the source and turns them into a product with real market value. It also complies with current and future emissions regulations. OzAmmonia generates revenue by licensing the technology to equipment vendors, who then manufacture and sell the systems to end users. Capturing 5% of the Chinese ceramic production market could yield revenue of AUD154 million and provide emitters with savings of over AUD18.5 million.
-
- NOx are harmful gases emitted by industries such as transport and chemical production. These industries face tightening regulations that exceed current technological limits, especially as renewable fuels, including hydrogen and ammonia, increase NOx emissions.
- Existing solutions present cost and operational challenges.
-
- Stationary combustion (coal, diesel, natural gas); shipping and transport; chemicals production, upcoming hydrogen and ammonia combustion - in conversation with potential customers such as Wartsila and Monalisa Tiles.
-
- Secured over AUD3.5 million in undiluted funding
- Reached TRL 4 with demonstration unit
- Three LOIs signed for trial projects, including with Clarke Energy
