The European Commission has greenlit a €122 million Lithuanian initiative to assist AB Achema in transitioning its fertiliser production processes towards decarbonisation. This move is in line with the EU's Hydrogen Strategy and the Green Deal Industrial targets. AB Achema's project focuses on implementing a 171 MW alkaline electrolyser to substitute fossil-based hydrogen with renewable and low-carbon hydrogen for ammonia production, aiming to cut down CO2 emissions and decrease dependence on natural gas. The electrolyser is scheduled to become operational by 2026 and is projected to mitigate the release of over 5.8 million tonnes of CO2 during its anticipated 19-year lifespan. Furthermore, AB Achema pledges to share insights and technical expertise acquired from the project to promote the adoption of clean technologies in the fertiliser sector, emphasizing a shift towards sustainability.
