  • The plant is producing renewable hydrogen and ammonia, with the first low-carbon footprint fertilizers delivered to customers, contributing to reducing CO2 emissions by 41,000 tonnes annually.
  • Yara's commitment to decarbonization includes producing low-carbon ammonia with carbon capture storage (CCS), engaging in CO2 transport and storage agreements, and evaluating low-carbon ammonia projects in the US.
  • The company's focus on sustainability, renewable energy, and CCS aligns with its strategy to profitably deliver decarbonized solutions quickly and at scale, positioning Yara as a leader in the green transition.
Yara International has inaugurated Europe's largest renewable hydrogen plant at Herøya Industrial Park in Porsgrunn, Norway, with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre in attendance. This milestone marks a significant step in Yara's mission to decarbonize the food value chain and energy-intensive industries. The 24 MW plant uses electrolysis of water and renewable energy to produce hydrogen, replacing natural gas and cutting 41,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. Yara has already delivered low-carbon footprint fertilizers, part of the Yara Climate Choice portfolio, to customers like Lantmännen, showcasing collaborations for a sustainable future. The company is also focusing on producing low-carbon ammonia with carbon capture storage (CCS) to enable the hydrogen economy and reduce climate impact. With commitments to reducing emissions, engaging in CCS agreements, and evaluating low-carbon projects in the US, Yara aims to be at the forefront of the green transition. Yara's strategy aligns with sustainable value growth, nature-positive food production, and promoting efficient and sustainable solutions across the food value chain. The company's dedication to sustainability, renewable energy, and CCS positions it as a leader in driving decarbonization efforts profitably and at scale, benefiting shareholders, customers, employees, and society at large.
