About Us
We have developed breakthrough electrochemical technology to produce green ammonia.
Our mission is to mitigate climate change by meeting the growing demand for clean energy and carbon-neutral fertilisers for sustainable agriculture.
Our Journey
Professor Douglas MacFarlane and Dr Alexandr (Sasha) Simonov founded Jupiter Ionics in 2021 to commercialise this vital outcome of many years of research.
Our fast-growing team is based at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, where we have a strong, long-standing relationship with the School of Chemistry.
Our Name
Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, has clouds, rain and hail made from ammonia. Ionics refers to ions, the charged atoms and molecules critical to the electrochemical process by which we produce ammonia.
