About us
Building the future together
Image Nium‘s novel nanotechnology is replacing Haber-Bosch, the most polluting industrial process on the planet to enable the synthesis of truly green ammonia for fertilisers and fuel.
Carbon13 is not just about investing in a few startups, it is about harnessing the entrepreneurial spirit. That means engaging with academia, business, policy makers, NGOs, consumers, new standards and finance. We need pioneers across the spectrum and that is where our community is critical to the success of our ventures and the transformation we need to see.

Podcast – Climate Takes – Ammonia
On Climate Takes Ammonia, we’re talking about the chemical that feeds half the world, is a $230 billion industry, and is key to a clean hydrogen future.
But which right now is the most polluting chemical process on earth.
To make one tonne of ammonia, two tonnes of emissions are generated.
But industry is so keen for Nium’s clean ammonia, that they already have a $120 million project pipeline and $50 million in signed offtake agreements, while still at TRL 5.
We’ll be getting the story behind those numbers and more, with CEO Lewis Jenkins.
Podcast – Climate Takes – Sea Robots
This episode is all about the ocean and the technology revolution taking place far beyond the landlubber’s horizon. The fact that our guest’s venture is backed by the European Space Agency tells you how we should be thinking of mankind’s next frontiers.
