⛰️ NitroFix is advancing an LOI with a consortium of farmers and renewable-energy entrepreneurs in northwest rural Norway to deploy on-site green-ammonia generators. Through this collaboration, NitroFix’s decentralized technology will empower rural communities to convert local hydroelectric power into value-added fertilizer, clean fuel, and new revenue streams.
While the country enjoys abundant hydropower and geothermal resources, connecting remote communities to the central grid remains costly, and low wholesale electricity prices limit the viability of small local power plants. Although electricity prices in Norway currently average around 0.2 NOK/kWh (≈ €16.6 /MWh), forecasts suggest a ~2.5xincrease to 0.5 NOK/kWh (≈ €42 /MWh) in coming years. This will make value-added energy products like ammonia increasingly attractive.
By connecting local hydroelectric energy to NitroFix’s green ammonia generators, the consortium’s model will enable farmers to produce ammonia locally and sell excess electricity back to the grid when prices are favorable. The ammonia produced can be applied directly as a 25%water-based solution to fertilize their own fields, while surplus production can be sold to nearby farms and industry partners—creating new income streams and strengthening local supply chains.
“This initiative embodies our vision, bringing affordable, zero-emission ammonia production to the places that need it most,” said Dr. Ophira Melamed, CEO of NitroFix.
By combining Norway’s renewable abundance with its entrepreneurial agricultural mindset, NitroFix is helping deliver decentralized green ammonia that enhances energy flexibility, reduces reliance on imports, and accelerates progress toward Norway’s 2050 net-zero goals.
🌾 Meeting key VC partners from India during the India Investors Delegation to Israel sparked new relationships intent on serving one of the world's fastest growing economies, and the second-largest consumer of fertiliser in the world.
🏆 NitroFix selected by SOSV as one of the most promising early stage companies tackling humanity’s toughest challenges in human and planetary health. Out of over 800 startups in SOSV’s renowned portfolio, only 100 were chosen.
📺 Dr. Ophira Melamed was interviewed on Live TV where she explained how we create one of the most essential molecules on the planet with just air and water.
🚀 We launched our new website! A few months of intense work distilling our message and refining the NitroFix brand have resulted in a beautiful new website that clearly depicts the value we bring to multiple industries heavily reliant on ammonia. Many thanks to Zohar Ehrlich and his team for stellar execution.
👩🏾🔬 Our team continues to grow! Abeer Hussein, Chemical Engineer, has joined NitroFix’s R&D team as a Research Assistant following months of internship training. Welcome Abeer!
//INDUSTRY
DNV’s latest white paper, Ammonia in Shipping: Tracing the Emergence of a New Fuel (2025), confirms that ammonia has moved from concept to commercial reality as the frontrunner zero-carbon marine fuel. In just five years, most of the technical and regulatory barriers have fallen; dozens of ammonia-fuelled vessels are being built, bunkering is effectively in place (550 ammonia plants and 126 ports already equipped to handle ammonia), and classification rules have rolled out.
The only major constraint remaining is cost: green ammonia still trades at nearly five times marine gas oil, slowing large-scale adoption. The industry awaits affordable, low-GHG ammonia supply.
That’s precisely where Nitrofix enters. Nitrofix’s modular and highly cost-effective electrochemical process generates green ammonia directly where it’s needed, cutting both CAPEX and logistics costs, and outperforming traditional Haber-Bosch pathways. With the IMO’s Net-Zero Framework driving rapid demand for low-carbon fuels across shipping, and other industries like fertilizer and energy storage not far behind, Nitrofix is positioned to be a leader in global transition.
📈 Geopolitical and logistical constraints are tightening the ammonia market and driving up prices. Plant attacks in Russia and Ukraine, disruptions at Saudi Arabia’s Ma’aden facility, and natural gas shortages at key hubs have strained global supply chains, reflected in recent hikes in the Tampa Ammonia contract. This highlights how strategically important diversified, decentralized, and localized green ammonia production has become. With global demand for green ammonia projected to grow by 50–70% annually over the next decade, renewable ammonia producers like Nitrofix are well positioned to capture this momentum.
💰 Indian green ammonia now at cost parity than imports. In reverse auctions run by India’s Solar Energy Corporation (SECI), tariffs (the contracted sale price per kilogram of green ammonia) were set at record-low levels. This means green ammonia can now be sold at prices close to, or even below, the cost of imported grey ammonia, marking a major step toward commercial viability. This shows how local, modular, zero-emission production like Nitrofix can help countries such as India, the world’s second largest ammonia importer, become self-sufficient and globally competitive in clean fertilizer and energy markets.
