The nitrogen reVolt, decarbonizing ammonia production in the EU

At DG MEME we keep hearing that the EU does not invest in research and that we lose our best minds to other continents. So I decided to go out and check if this is really the case; and what we could do to improve the situation. I will collect these articles in EUREKA (European Union’s Research, Enterprise, and Knowledge Aces), a new section of the website. For this first article, I was looking for a start-up that is:

  • EU-based, with an international team
  • contributing to the green transition
  • run by scientists who studied abroad but came back to Europe

And that’s how I met Suzanne and Mattia, the two co-founders of NitroVolt, a Danish start-up that is revolutionizing the ammonia production.

The EU Atomic Bomb

Have you ever had that feeling of living in a continent that is not entirely ruled by insane people? Cool, then you’re probably in Europe, in Australia or in Antarctica.
