Fertilizer production expansion program

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Business Cooperative Services (CFDA 10.383 - Fertilizer Product Expansion Program) awarded a $3,999,999 project grant to Nitricity Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of goods based in Fremont, California. The grant, with a performance period from August 21, 2024, to August 21, 2026, supports Nitricity's efforts to expand its sustainable nitrogen fertilizer production capabilities using innovative plasma reactor and absorption unit technologies. This grant funding will enable Nitricity to further develop its zero-carbon emission fertilizer manufacturing processes, which utilize air, water, and renewable electricity, with the goal of increasing the availability of nitrogen, phosphate, and potash fertilizers for agricultural producers. Nitricity has successfully secured multiple federal grants totaling approximately $4.9 million from various agencies, including the Department of Energy, the USDA, the National Science Foundation, and the Institute of Bioenergy, Climate, and Environment, to advance its research and development in sustainable nitrogen fixation technologies.
