Copernic Catalysts designs novel catalysts for zero-carbon chemicals and e-fuels, leveraging cutting-edge scientific computing tools to radically improve heterogeneous catalyst design. The company is initially focused on reducing the cost of zero-carbon ammonia, which accounts for 1% of global emissions as a key fertilizer component. Copernic's technology platform aims to offset 1.5 gigatons of CO2, representing 4% of global emissions, by creating solutions that are economic, rapidly scalable, and compatible with existing industry infrastructure. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the company has raised approximately $8M in seed funding. Copernic differentiates itself by changing how the hundred-year-old chemical industry innovates, accelerating catalyst development toward a sustainable future through its proprietary computational approach to catalyst design and process optimization.
