Startup Stories - Facet Amtech
Facet Amtech
Join us for Startup Stories featuring Peter Richardson, founder and CEO of Facet Amtech!
Discover how Peter, alumnus of the University of Newcastle, transformed his academic expertise into Facet Amtech, a cleantech startup that's making ammonia production cleaner and more efficient - think less energy used and fewer harmful emissions released into our atmosphere.
Facet is on a mission to help companies of all sizes produce ammonia – the world’s second most produced chemical – more sustainably. Ammonia is essential for making fertilizers, cleaning chemicals and a whole host of other products. In fact, clean ammonia produced without the emissions can even be used as an alternative to fossil fuels for clean energy and fuel applications.
Learn more about Peter’s journey out of the lab and into the startup world, and hear about Facet Amtech's breakthrough technology, which not only makes the process safer but also significantly cuts emissions and reduces overall costs for manufacturers.
Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights from a true innovator who's tackling climate change through practical engineering solutions that benefit both business and the environment.
