👏 Exciting developments are underway at Yara Pilbara Fertilizers Pty Ltd (YPF) as a technical feasibility study is explored to add Carbon Capture and Storage to rapidly decarbonize its existing process operations near Karratha in Western Australia. “Carbon capture and storage for our current operations in the Burrup Strategic Industrial Area would deliver a swifter and immediate benefit in cutting our CO2 emissions by around 75 per cent as we scale up the use of renewable hydrogen,” said Yara Pilbara General Manager Laurent Trost. The YPF plant uses gas as a feedstock to produce more than 800,000 tonnes of ammonia, which makes up a key component of global fertilizer stocks and food production. 🌿🌍 A future low-emission ammonia production will also serve new emerging markets like the shipping sector, power production, industrial solutions, and clean ammonia as a hydrogen carrier. 🚢 With eyes on the horizon, Yara Clean Ammonia (YCA) is actively collaborating with the Pilbara Ports Authority to explore ammonia as a sustainable alternative fuel for shipping. This initiative could transform maritime transport within the vital iron ore corridor linking Pilbara to the Asia Pacific markets. #YaraPilbara #Decarbonization #Sustainability #CleanAmmonia #CCSTechnology

2mo"Wow, Yara Clean Ammonia this is fantastic news! Carbon capture and storage technology will not only reduce YPF's CO2 emissions by 75% but also enable the production of low-emission ammonia for emerging markets like shipping and power generation. Exciting times ahead for sustainable industries! What do you think will be the most significant challenge in scaling up the use of renewable hydrogen in industrial processes?"
