Lewis Jenkins
Co-Founder and CEO.
Two start-ups, three scale-ups, and one exit. I have founded and grown multinational businesses across 30 countries in two decades. I co-founded Nium because the climate is the only game in town for the rest of my career, and eliminating emissions from our food and fuel is the best place to start.
Imagine a future free from the grip of fossil fuels where clean energy doesn't just light our homes and fuel our cars but powers entire industries—this is the ambitious vision driving Nium, and it all began with a spark of inspiration.
It all started with a conversation with Dr Yubiao Niu. That was when I realised that clean ammonia would revolutionise the energy landscape, just like it revolutionised food production a century ago. This revelation, coupled with the shared vision of my partners, Yubiao Niu and Phil Hunter, for a new kind of climate company, led to the inevitable creation of Nium.
Ammonia might not be a household name, but it's one of the foundational building blocks of modern life, critical for food, energy, and chemicals. While demand will skyrocket, the current production process leaves a vast and dirty carbon footprint.
At Nium, we believe ammonia can be a hero again. We see the challenge of reducing emissions as an opportunity for collaboration and progress. It's not just a question of "if" we can transition away from fossil fuels; it's "when". For Nium, that time is now.
Nium's clean ammonia offers a glimpse into a cleaner future:
- Sustainable agriculture: decarbonise and decentralise fertiliser production, empowering local communities with clean solutions.
- Hydrogen fuel revolution: clean ammonia is a practical way to transport and store this clean energy source, accelerating its adoption.
- Carbon-free shipping: imagine cleaner oceans and reduced emissions with ammonia-powered ships.
Nium's revolutionary biomimetic nanotechnology makes this future a reality.
It's a game-changer that breaks the dependence on fossil fuels for ammonia production and allows for local, clean production anywhere in the world at the flick of a switch.
