Nitric Bio
Zero-emission nitric acid from air and water.
About Nitric Bio
Founded in 2021 and based in British Columbia, Canada, Nitric Bio is a climate technology company focused on decarbonizing the heavy chemical industry.
The company is developing a process to produce zero-emission nitric acid. This method utilizes only air, water, and renewable electricity as inputs, positioning it as a clean alternative to the conventional Ostwald process. The traditional method is energy-intensive and a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions, as it relies on ammonia produced via the fossil-fuel-dependent Haber-Bosch process.
Nitric Bio’s core market is the agricultural sector, as approximately 80% of global nitric acid production is used to manufacture nitrogen fertilizers. By enabling the creation of 'green' fertilizer, the company offers a direct path for the agriculture industry to reduce its carbon footprint. Other addressable markets include the production of polymers and specialty chemicals where nitric acid is a key ingredient. The business model is geared towards decentralized, on-site production, which can reduce transportation costs, improve supply chain resilience, and allow for 'just-in-time' manufacturing tailored to consumer needs.
