"Renewable ammonia is an important part of the decarbonization puzzle, however developing it at scale takes time. As the world is rapidly approaching 2030, we are also working to produce low-carbon ammonia with CCS to enable the hydrogen economy and develop the emerging markets for low-emission ammonia," says Hans-Olav Raen, CEO of Yara Clean Ammonia.   Last week, we celebrated the inauguration of our 24 MW renewable hydrogen plant at Herøya Industrial Park in Porsgrunn. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, who was with us at the project's launch two years ago, returned to witness its realization. 🌿 Once fully operational, this plant will produce around 20,000 tonnes of renewable ammonia annually, cutting 41,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions from the site. As the largest facility of its kind in Europe, it plays a crucial role in enhancing production whilst cutting emissions. 🌍🎯 We recognize that scaling up production won’t be easy. The green transition will require investments, predictable framework conditions, massive build-out of renewable energy and grid, continuously advancing technology, and a maturing market where demand and supply are developed simultaneously. 💚 Learn how Skrei is creating renewable ammonia and contributing to a sustainable future. 👇

“Yara is now demonstrating that this can be done. They have been a frontrunner, first mover. We need to decarbonize, and we need to produce more renewable energy.” These were some reflections Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre shared during the official opening of our renewable hydrogen plant!   🎉 Yara’s renewable hydrogen plant is a major milestone in decarbonizing the food value chain, shipping fuel and other energy intensive industries.   🎯 To reach our climate goals we need to act urgently on multiple fronts and the companies who take the green transition seriously will have a competitive advantage. However, the right framework conditions need to be in place, together with investments, funding and a market where supply and demand develop in parallel.   🤝 Collaboration across entire value chains is an essential piece of the puzzle and the realization of Yara’s renewable hydrogen plant is a powerful example of this.   Learn more 👉 https://lnkd.in/dAdji-At

The U.S. Regenerative Cotton Fund hosted its latest field day at SHI Farmer Mentor Shane Isbell’s farm in Cherokee, Alabama. Soil Health Educator Jessica Kelton gave an overview of the USRCF initiative and SHI’s benchmarking work. Isbell shared his experiences on farming with his family. Dr. Rishi Prasad, Auburn University Extension/Alabama Cooperative Extension System, and Curt Knight, Yara North America Soil Health Agronomist, discussed phosphorus use, soil fertility, and soil health. Jake Harris, Southern Crop Service, and Dr. Steve Li, Auburn University Extension/Alabama Cooperative Extension System, demonstrated using drones on the farm for spot applications — resulting in reduced inputs — and using drones to seed cover crops.
