Tarita Green Energy plans to develop a 40,000 tons per year solar-powered renewable ammonia project to be used for fertilizer production for the local agricultural industry.
California-based Nitricity has announced plans to construct its first production facility, featuring a 100-fold scale-up of its process, which utilizes agricultural byproducts and electricity to produce a calcium nitrate solution.
In our latest episode of Project Features, we explored the FertigHy consortium’s plans to construct its first grid-connected ammonia and fertilizer plant in northern France. Using electrolytic hydrogen produced from France’s renewable and nuclear-dominated grid, FertigHy will provide long-term, fixed-price fertilizer supplies to the EU, reducing dependence on imports. Technology licensor and project partner Stamicarbon explored considerations for low-emission ammonia plants, and the technology sets available.
Partnering with Landus, TalusAg has deployed its containerised, modular, anhydrous ammonia production system for commercial renewable ammonia production in Boone, Iowa, unlocking a new domestic fertiliser supply chain in the US.
thyssenkrupp Uhde will supply technology for decarbonising three existing ammonia & urea plants operated by Misr Fertilizers Production Company (MOPCO) on the Nile Delta. This includes electrolysis capacity to feed the production of 150,000 tons per year of renewable ammonia, with Yara Clean Ammonia already committed as offtaker.
Pupuk Kujang Fertilizers has announced the trial production of renewable ammonia at its existing factory earlier this month. A total of 50 tons of renewable ammonia will be produced at first, and co-fired in an 8-hour trial at PLN Power Indonesia’s Banten Labuan power plant.
To explore Trinidad & Tobago' s existing ammonia production capacity and the new imperative to decarbonize, the Energy Chamber of Trinidad & Tobago and Argus Media joined Project Features last month. To maintain its market share in key export destinations and meet climate goals, Trinidad & Tobago has a series of decarbonized ammonia projects underway, including the use of wind, solar and gas-based CCS pathways.
Meet FertigHy, a pan-European consortium that will build, own, and operate low-carbon fertilizer plants across the continent, starting with its first facility in northern France. Explore plans for the 500,000 tons per year facility, which will feature Stamicarbon technology.
A first in the Brazilian market, Yara has commenced the production of biomethane-based nitrate fertilisers at its Cubatão complex, reducing the carbon footprint by up to 75%. The first batch of the low carbon fertiliser has been delivered to coffee farmers in the Cooxupe cooperative.
The pair have partnered in a feasibility study to decarbonize an existing ammonia plant in the Kwinana Industrial Area in Western Australia via over-the-fence renewable hydrogen, transported via the existing Parmelia Gas Pipeline.
