Clean Energy / High Efficiency Chemical Production – Ammonia Synthesis

A multi-billion dollar global industry, catalysts are essential to the world’s industrial production. As much as 90% of all chemical processes utilize catalysts (petroleum refining, pollution abatement, and production of fuels and chemicals) and 60% of all consumer and industrial products (fertilizers, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and batteries) are made using catalysts. Catalysts are now seen as a preferred way to improve process efficiency, lower costs, increase output, use less energy, 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.

QSI catalysts have the potential to benefit multiple multi-billion dollar process applications in the refining, petrochemical, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. Currently the lead application and commercialization focus is ammonia synthesis, a highly critical and energy-intensive process. The $100B+ of ammonia produced annually consumes more than 2% of the world’s energy supply. Approximately 85% of this output is used as agricultural fertilizer for both food (supplying 50% of all human protein consumed), and non-food crops including biofuel feedstocks. In addition, ammonia generation produces 400 million tons of greenhouse gasses annually, or 1.6% of the world’s total carbon dioxide emissions. By lowering the reaction temperature and pressure and increasing overall conversion efficiency, QSI’s turbo-charged iron catalysts have the potential to increase ammonia production output per plant by up to 20% (Note: the ammonia industry considers 5% to be a "game changer"). At scale, this breakthrough promises not only significant energy and infrastructure savings to the 100 year old Haber-Bosch process, but also compelling improvements in the net output of both food and fuel production. The Company believes it can generate 100+ million dollars in annual revenue within the ammonia and specialty chemicals industry. Product commercialization is underway with several industry leaders.
