Yara will supply both low-emission fertilizers and decarbonizations services to potato farmers in Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and Argentina. The potatoes will be used in the production of Sabritas potato chips and other snack foods.
Accelerate to Demonstrate (A2D) – a UK government-backed UNIDO initiative – will provide support for the Daures Green Hydrogen Village project, aiming to produce low carbon fertilisers in Namibia from 2027.
Lantmännen has signed a three year agreement with Sweden-based dairy co-op Arla for the supply, distribution and use of fossil-free fertilizers. In Germany, OCI Global has begun supplying chemical manufacturer Lanxess with lower-emission ammonia from Rotterdam, and will supply agricultural co-op RWZ with lower-emission fertilizers.
Tsubame BHB and Brazilian biofuels company Atvos have signed a letter of intent to deploy Tsubame’s smaller-scale ammonia production technology in Brazil, replacing fossil-based fertilizers applied to surrounding agricultural areas.
More than half the awarded funding goes towards ammonia, including GW-scale projects led by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Moeve. IGNIS has also won funding for its maritime fuel-focused project in Coruña.
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.
