Company Overview:

Nitricity is a startup decarbonizing one of the largest chemical industries in the world, and we are looking for your help.

The bedrock of modern agriculture is the production, distribution, and application of the essential nutrients found in fertilizers. However, nitrogen fertilizer is currently made in coal- and gas-fired facilities located hundreds to thousands of miles away from farmers who need it. The $120B industry is responsible for as much as 6% of global CO2eq emissions. Nitricity Inc. has developed a breakthrough technology that produces fertilizer using air, water, and renewable electricity. Growers will have access to a more reliable, low cost, and environmentally friendly fertilizer supply. Nitricity’s vision has won awards through Stanford, Berkeley, MIT, Caltech, ASU, Forbes, and more. We are building a world-class team to help us turn this vision into a reality
