Yara Clean Ammonia’s Post

Yara and GHC SAOC Announce Agreement for Low-Emission Ammonia Supply 🌿 Yara, a leading Norwegian crop nutrition company, and GHC SAOC, a subsidiary of Acme Cleantech, have signed a binding agreement for the long-term supply of ammonia with reduced CO2 emissions. This agreement marks a significant step towards a more sustainable future for the fertilizer industry. The long-term offtake agreement covers the supply of 100,000 tonnes of renewable ammonia per year from Acme's Oman project, expected to begin in 2027. This collaboration between Yara and Acme Cleantech demonstrates the growing momentum behind green ammonia as a key solution for decarbonizing the agricultural sector.

What are the main bottlenecks for Latin American clean ammonia projects? What investments are being made in the region for clean ammonia projects? Luis Miguel Diazgranados, Manager at HINICIO, has been invited to co-lead a keynote presentation and panel discussion at the #FertilizerLatinoAmericano 2024, highlighting crucial aspects of de-risking clean ammonia projects. The presentation will also feature a case study with one of the largest fertilizer producers in Colombia.

OCI Global sold its stake in Fertiglobe a few days ago. OCI only kept its very modern fertilizer plant of Iowa Fertilizer Company (IOFC), which also benefits from cheap natural gas, and its older but very integrated plant in Geleen (the Netherlands) that nowadays operates using expensive EU gas and/or LNG (with higher CO2 emission). Today OCI announced to sell IOFC to Koch Ag & Energy Solutions, LLC which leaves the fertilizer plant in Geleen OCI's only fertilizer and melamine asset. To produce fertilizers as a company with only one plant is commercially difficult and risky (for instance, how to supply long-term clients with fertilizers in case the plant is shut-down for an unexpected reason - like high natural gas cost in 2022). I can imagine OCI doesn't want to deal with such a risk and I wouldn't be surprised if OCI is going to divest its assets in Geleen. Will there be interesting parties? Maybe SABIC/Fibrant which also are present on Chemelot (a combination of Sabic/OCI/Fibrant more or less recreates the former DSM on Chemelot that started the integrated "verbund site" some decades ago but which divested its plants long ago as well to focus on specialty chemicals and food additives). It will be a difficult divestment because the climate of producing fossil fertilizers and chemicals is not very good and even worse if the plants need to transfer to green plants (green H2 is relatively expensive while in Limburg it will be difficult to supply the renewable electrons and/or green H2 (derivatives) needed by the plants to transform the plants to fully renewable production plants.) Wondering what Dutch politicians will do in case OCI is going to shut-down its plant in Geleen. Because as said it is integrated with other plants, it will also have huge impact on the other industrial assets on Chemelot which in total is responsible for about 30% of the economy in the Provincie Limburg. Would be interesting to follow this case! De Limburger, 1Limburg

𝐌𝐢𝐭𝐬𝐮𝐢 𝐎.𝐒.𝐊. 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬, 𝐋𝐭𝐝. (𝐌𝐎𝐋), a prominent 𝐉𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦, has entered into a time charter agreement for the 𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐘𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐚 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐳𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝, an affiliate of 𝐘𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐒𝐀, the globe's leading nitrogen fertilizer producer. This 2010-vintage vessel, handed over on December 25, 2023, is slated for ammonia transportation, primarily in the Pacific region. Ammonia, predominantly recognized as a fertilizer precursor, is poised for a surge in demand due to its potential as a carbon-neutral energy source, ideal for applications like co-firing with coal in power plants and as a hydrogen medium. MOL and the Yara consortium have fostered a collaborative relationship since their 2022 memorandum of understanding on decarbonization initiatives, specifically within the ammonia domain. This newly inked charter pact epitomizes their joint commitment to the burgeoning clean ammonia sector, with both entities actively aspiring to fortify their ammonia supply chain. #MitsuiOSKLines #YaraInternational #AmmoniaTransport #CleanEnergy #Decarbonization #PacificRegion #ShippingNews #FertilizerIndustry #CarbonNeutral #HydrogenCarrier #SupplyChainExpansion NC: Offshore Energy

Ma'aden Accredited as the World’s Largest Ultra Low Carbon Ammonia Producer https://lnkd.in/eXwCicXd The largest multi-commodity firm in the Middle East, has been certified by the international assessor DNV as having produced 614,000 tonnes of ultra low carbon ammonia, representing the largest quantity accredited in the world to date. This is a significant step forward in Ma’aden’s plans to grow and transform its business to become an ESG role model in the Kingdom. With a world leading fertilizer business which is now the second largest exporter of phosphate fertilizers, there is significant potential for Ma’aden to consolidate its presence as a leading producer of ultra low carbon ammonia. This follows Ma’aden’s ambitious program to ship over 138kt of blue ammonia to major global markets, including the European Union and China, signalling the company’s growing activity in global value chains. #saudi #arabia #lowcarbon #ammonia #nh3

Linde And Yara International Partner On CO2 Liquefaction Plant. Change is on the horizon in Sluiskil, Netherlands, where Linde and Yara are joining forces to construct an innovative CO2 liquefaction plant. Set to revolutionize sustainability in fertilizer production, this facility will capture and store a significant 800,000 metric tons of CO2 each year, reducing Yara's emissions substantially. By 2026, the new plant will stand beside Yara's historical ammonia plant, propelling the industry closer to Net Zero goals. While Yara has been proactive in capturing over 40% of its CO2 emissions, this project represents a critical step forward, minimizing the 1.8 million tons of CO2 that still escape into our atmosphere. #Decarbonization #C02Capture #Linde #Yara #Netherlands

Opportunities for new industries are emerging all the time in the Pilbara - and often they involve industries that are already here! Great to learn that research commissioned by Yara Pilbara and Pilbara Ports about the use of ammonia as a clean shipping fuel is showing long-term potential. In the Pilbara we already produce ammonia at a globally significant scale and our ports are some of the busiest and best in the world. Put the two of those together and you have something really exciting.
