Nitricity

Nitricity is a climate-tech and agricultural-technology company that produces nitrogen fertilizer on-farm from only air, water, and renewable electricity. Founded in 2018 by Stanford graduate researchers Nicolas Pinkowski and Joshua McEnaney, the company uses a solar-powered plasma / electrochemical process to fix atmospheric nitrogen and produce nitric acid and calcium nitrate fertilizers on-site and on-demand, eliminating the fossil-fuel-intensive Haber-Bosch process and long-distance transportation that make conventional fertilizer responsible for roughly 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Backed by Khosla Ventures, Fine Structure Ventures, Lowercarbon Capital, and strategic investor Chipotle, Nitricity is a hardware and physical-product company; it publishes a corporate website, blog, and field-trial program but exposes no public API, developer portal, or technical integration surface.

Nitricity is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Climate Tech, Agriculture Technology, Fertilizer, and Sustainability.

Nitricity’s developer surface includes engineering blog and 2 more developer resources.
