NitroCat Energies, Inc.

NitroCat Energies, Inc. is a climate-tech company that specializes in electrochemical systems designed to harvest nitrogen from dairy farm wastewater streams. By utilizing proprietary catalyst technology, the company converts this nitrogen into ammonia and urea, which are primary ingredients for sustainable fertilizer production. This process is intended to provide dairy farmers with a potential new income stream while simultaneously offering a lower-cost, sustainable fertilizer source for crop farmers. The technology aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, minimize the need for traditional transportation-heavy fertilizer supply chains, and improve energy efficiency in agricultural operations.

The company emerged from research conducted at the Renewable Energy Conversion and Storage Laboratory at Colorado State University, led by professor Reza Nazemi. The startup was established to further develop and commercialize this electrochemical prototype, with plans to advance the technology toward at-scale pilot deployment at dairy facilities. By focusing on decentralized production, NitroCat Energies seeks to address regional supply challenges and promote more resilient, localized food systems through technological innovation.
