AgFunder invests in Faraday Earth, a startup developing AI-optimized plasma technology for green ammonia production

Type: Investment · Technology: Green Ammonia · Country: United States · Announced: 2026-06-15

AgFunder, the parent company of AgFunderNews, invested in Faraday Earth, a US-based startup developing AI-optimized plasma technology to produce green ammonia at a levelized cost of around $500 per ton. Faraday Earth's modular, container-sized systems use non-thermal plasma to activate nitrogen molecules, replacing the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process traditionally used for ammonia production. The company's AI-driven digital twin optimizes reactor conditions in real time, improving yield efficiency by up to 60-70 times compared to its initial performance. Faraday Earth has secured letters of intent, pilot agreements, and at least one paid customer, with interest from global ammonia producers and distributors serving fertilizers, cold storage, and industrial applications. The startup envisions decentralized production units, typically 40 feet by 10 feet, capable of producing a few tons of ammonia per day, targeting markets where logistics make delivered ammonia expensive.
