Replacing rare metals (PGMs) with novel, powerful nano-ceramics
Even though PGMs are vital to critical industries, they are rare and concentrated in very limited parts of the world, making them extremely
expensive and geopolitically unstable
CatAmmon’s mission is to develop a unique platform that can replace PGMs with novel, cost-effective, scalable nano-ceramics
Conventional catalysts rely on scarce, high-cost metals like Platinum and Palladium.
CatAmmon’s novel nano ceramic catalyst delivers rare-metal performance-at a fraction of the cost.
Platinum
$66,000/kg
+77% surge in 2025
Palladium
$48,000/kg
+79% surge in 2025
CatAmmon’s Novel Nano Ceramic
$30/kg
(BOM)
today, we focus on:
Reducing Cost for Automotive
Emission Control Systems
Cost Effective
Alternative Energies
The catalytic converter is located between the engine and the exhaust system,
converting toxic engine emissions into harmless gases
Catalytic Converter Illustration
Catalytic converters represent
2%–5% of the total vehicle production cost, rising up to 10% in motorcycles
70% of catalytic converter cost comes from PGMs, which are the active component in the converter
CatAmmon replaces over
50% of the PGMs, cutting catalytic converter costs by 35%
Hydrogen is essential for a net-zero future but storing and moving it is challenging.
“CrackAmmon” Pellets
Ammonia is the leading hydrogen carrier, the world’s
2nd most produced chemical, offering high hydrogen density and global shipping infrastructure
By 2030, 88% of the internationally traded hydrogen will be shipped as ammonia (according to IEA)
Cracking ammonia back into hydrogen is costly and demanding rare metals (Ruthenium)
By fully replacing rare metals, CatAmmon cuts ammonia cracking costs by
up to 50%, lowering hydrogen production cost
CatAmmon brings together an experienced and diverse team of academic professors, senior scientists, industry experts, and business development professionals with deep experience in deep-tech and advanced materials.
