BASF’s original ammonia catalyst discovery was “the most important discovery ever made. Put simply, this discovery is keeping alive half the people on earth.” — Hager’s Alchemy of Air
And it took 20,000 trial and error experiments, running through the periodic table, with osmium, then uranium, and finally, a more reasonable iron-aluminum-calcium combination. The factories required staggeringly huge pressure vessels, like had never seen before.
Copernic has improved on that epic accomplishment with AI and quantum chemistry, to catalyze a better fuels and chemicals future. Their first discovery is a low-pressure, low-temperature drop-in ammonia catalyst, dramatically reducing its cost and carbon footprint. Their second will be a novel catalyst for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to improve the carbon footprint of the aviation industry. And Future.Ventures is proud to have supported them from inception.
