Transformational catalysts for fuels and chemicals

Rethinking Maritime Energy

Some of the biggest climate challenges lie at the intersection of shipping and energy:

  • 3%

    of global
    emissions

    today are from shipping alone, highlighting the need for a zero-carbon e-fuel.

  • Transporting
    zero-carbon hydrogen

    means it has to be efficiently shipped from areas with cheap renewable electricity to population centers.

Rethinking Fertilizers

Feeding the world while protecting the climate is an urgent challenge:

  • 1%

    of global
    emissions

    come from ammonia a key component of fertilizers essential to grow food

  • Zero-carbon ammonia

    if competitively priced, offers an immediate solution to this problem

Copernic is developing zero-carbon ammonia solutions that are cost-competitive and quickly scalable.

ABOUT COPERNIC

Copernic designs novel catalysts for zero-carbon chemicals and e-fuels.

We marry the practical with the visionary to create solutions that are:

  • Economic
  • Rapidly scaleable
  • Compatible with existing industry infrastructure

We are initially
focused on reducing
the cost of

Zero-carbon
ammonia

Our technology platform radically improves the design of heterogeneous catalysts, the workhorse of the chemical industry, by leveraging cutting-edge scientific computing tools.

We are changing how a hundred-year old chemical industry innovates, and accelerating the trajectory of catalyst development towards a sustainable and profitable future.
