2020 Finalist Teams

$100,000 GRAND PRIZE WINNER - NITRICITY

Nitricity is developing a system to produce carbon-free fertilizer using a novel process invented by our team at Stanford University. Their technology can produce ready-to-use nitrogen with only air, water, and renewable electricity. Nitricity produces both nitric acid and ammonia, which can be used separately or combined to produce ammonium nitrate fertilizer.
