Starfire Energy announces closing of major funding round to produce carbon free ammonia and hydrogen solutions
Denver, Colorado –
April 8, 2021 –
Starfire Energy, a developer of modular chemical plants
for the production of carbon-free ammonia and carbon-free hydrogen,
today announced the close of a major funding round.
The investment round was led by
AP Ventures,
a significant investor in breakthrough hydrogen technologies,
and included New Energy Technologies,
Chevron Technology Ventures,
Osaka Gas USA,
and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
Proceeds
will be used to advance the development of commercial scale applications to decarbonize ammonia production and unlock its potential as a zero-carbon energy carrier.
Ammonia
is a promising energy carrier with an energy density comparable to fossil fuels
and significantly higher than Li-ion batteries, compressed, or liquid hydrogen.
It can be inexpensively and easily stored and transported,
Starfire Energy leverages a patented catalysis technology
that allows for the synthesis and cracking of carbon-free ammonia and hydrogen-leveraging renewable energy sources.
Starfire Energy’s ‘Rapid Ramp NH3’ ammonia synthesis technology
produces zero carbon ammonia using only renewable energy, air, and water as inputs.
The modular solution
is sized to connect directly with renewable energy production, providing a scalable, distributed source of zero carbon ammonia.
The company has also developed their Prometheus Carbon-free Fire,
a system to crack ammonia back into hydrogen providing an efficient means of green hydrogen storage and transportation.
MHI views clean ammonia as an important new energy source for fuel use and hydrogen carriers
and we are committed to expanding the hydrogen and ammonia value chain from production to utilization
by developing technologies such as the hydrogen and ammonia gas turbine,
said Ricky Sakai, Vice President of new business development at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America.
