Atlas Agro, a fertilizer producer in Brazil, has entered into a memorandum of understanding with renewable energy company Casa dos Ventos to collaborate on utilizing renewable energy sources to produce green hydrogen for green fertilizer. The partnership, based in Uberaba, Brazil, aims to leverage Casa dos Ventos' renewable portfolio to enable Atlas Agro to produce green hydrogen at its fertilizer plant. The project, expected to commence operations in 2028, plans to generate 530,000 short tons/year of green ammonium nitrate, a crucial component in reducing carbon emissions in agricultural production. To power the plant sustainably, Casa dos Ventos will supply 300 megawatts of renewable energy, emphasizing the commitment to expanding Brazil's renewable energy matrix. Additionally, the project intends to decrease Brazil's reliance on nitrogen fertilizer imports, as the country is currently the largest global importer, receiving an estimated 41 million short tons in 2023. Knut Karlsen, the President of Atlas Agro Brazil, expressed the company's focus on decarbonizing global nitrogen production by ensuring affordable and sustainable nitrogen fertilizers for local farmers. The collaboration with Casa dos Ventos is seen as a step towards providing green, locally produced nitrogen fertilizers to enhance sustainability in Brazilian agriculture.
