Hannah van Niekerk

Lead Process Engineer

I am keenly aware of the negative impacts that the production of fossil-based chemicals, particularly ammonia, has had on the planet over the last 100 years. 

We can and should do better to develop new processes and products that are genuinely sustainable. I joined Nium to do just that!


A chemical engineer with a background in process development, project delivery and commissioning across multiple industry sectors, including food and beverage and more recently, green chemicals. I lead the scale-up of our nano-catalyst technology through design and development of our pilot plant facilities.
