About Us
CatAmmon was founded in 2024 based on five years of academic research led by two professors, and develops advanced metal-dopant and ceramic-based catalyst technologies for hydrogen and ammonia applications.
The company’s core focus is ammonia cracking for hydrogen production, enabling on-demand hydrogen supply for hydrogen-powered vehicles, ships, off-road machinery, and fueling stations. CatAmmon’s flagship cracking catalyst operates at 350–400°C, requires no rare or precious metals, and can reduce CapEx and OpEx by up to 50%, unlocking cleaner, cheaper, and scalable hydrogen production from ammonia.
In parallel, CatAmmon has developed a proprietary metal-dopant technology that matches precious-metal catalytic performance without rare metals, enabling the replacement of precious metals currently used in automotive catalytic converters. This approach reduces cost, supply-chain risk, and environmental impact while supporting large-scale deployment across mobility platforms.
As a longer-term extension, CatAmmon is also developing a near-atmospheric-pressure ammonia synthesis catalyst, targeting up to 55% reduction in ammonia production cost as a cleaner alternative to the traditional Haber–Bosch process.
Within its first year, CatAmmon raised $1.85M and is executing multiple PoC’s with leading global partners across Japan, Korea, Switzerland, and Germany.
