Hello,

According to industry estimates, more than 80% of the world's large-scale chemical processes depend on catalyst materials, including petroleum refining, pollution abatement, food processing, and production of fuels and chemicals. Catalysts are now seen as one of the preferred ways to improve process efficiency, lower costs, increase output, and meet both performance and environmental standards. This is placing a strong emphasis on the development of new catalysts with higher activity, increased longevity, and reduced environmental and / or health impact.

It can be argued that ammonia is the man-made substance most critical to the existence of human society. The expansion of population since 1900 has been made possible by fertilizer driven agriculture, and modern nitrogen fertilizer is based on ammonia. Plants require nitrogen to produce protein, and ammonia is the only viable source for large-scale nitrogen applications. It is estimated that nearly 50% of the world's protein need is produced with nitrogen fertilizers based on ammonia. Click here to learn more about QSI's critical role in the ammonia process.

As QuantumSphere moves forward, we will continue leveraging our core skills in advanced materials manufacturing, developing integrated catalytic solutions, and key technology platforms that can be translated into a broad range of clean energy and power storage applications.

Thank you for your continued support and feedback.
