What we do
What happens when you combine air, water, and electricity?
The answer is simple: a better, cleaner solution to nitrogen fertilizer.
Climate-Smart Fertilizer Produced Locally
Nitricity harnesses the power of lightning using just air, water, and electricity to make high-quality nitrogen fertilizer. Our process mitigates GHGs and brings fertilizer production closer to fields.
Company's story
Our Specialty
We use lightning technology
to make climate-smart fertilizer
Nitricity is building the next generation of reactors to produce climate-smart nitrogen fertilizer. Powered by electricity, this technology mimics a naturally occurring process to fix nitrogen, making high-quality fertilizer with low GHG emissions profiles.
Why Lightning?
Nitrogen is the most abundant element in the atmosphere, but it must undergo chemical processes to be used as fertilizer. This is where lightning enters the equation.
During a thunderstorm, lightning naturally breaks apart atmospheric nitrogen, and rainwater brings it to the soil as plant-soluble nitrates. Nitricity's breakthrough technology emulates this natural process to fix nitrogen.
Climate Impact
Nitrogen fertilizer is responsible for up to 7% of all global greenhouse gas emissions. As the population grows, so does the demand for nitrogen fertilizer. Ton for ton, mitigating emissions from the production of nitric acid has the biggest GHG impact among large industrial processes in the United States. Switching from ammonia/urea to nitrate fertilizers means fewer field emissions and greater nutrient efficiencies.

Our story
On a mission to electrify nitrogen fertilizer
Nitrogen fertilizer is vital to support our growing population, but its production and application is responsible for up to 7% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. A complex supply chain, coupled with heavy reliance on fossil fuels, means farmers are forced to make decisions based on price and availability rather than on crop needs. That's why Nitricity is on a mission to electrify the production of nitrogen fertilizer and bring better products closer to the farmers that use them.
Creating a better, more efficient way to produce fertilizer is no easy task, but it’s exactly what brought Nitricity together. Our company was founded from a desire to tackle GHG emissions and create products that are better for fields, farmers, and the environment.
The goal is simple — let’s fix the way we fix nitrogen.
Our Team
At Nitricity, we share an inherent dedication to reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. Our commitment to this mission means we show up every day ready to work hard and drive change.
